Comment: Spending 1000's to bury a dead person is ridiculous. Cremation is just a few hundred and less fuss. Why burden the family to cover your dead body in earth?  I see that as a selfish narcissistic act. You're dead, why do you care? Only fools would flush 1000's  so people can worship their greatness as they get lowered into the dirt. Don't even get me started on those  that are SO SELFISH they hire police escorts that block traffic for a procession and inconvenience 100's of others just so you don't have to stop at a light.. people really need to get over themselves.

Take the money you save and throw a party for those left behind.. They celebrate your life and aren't morose about it.
