Funerals

It truly was a Shawshank redemption

How do you feel about funerals? They can get pretty costly, even without extras like a wake and a service. The average cost in the UK is around £3000, with an average of £2000 spent on extras.

Personally, I would want my family to spend as little as possible on my funeral, as well as wanting to spend as little as possible on another person's funeral. It sounds cold, but to me a big funeral is a pointless exercise. You can memorialise the person in your own way, without spending copious amounts of money to do so. I know there are probably some people who would say that you can't put a figure on the person's life and memory, but to me, that's exactly my point: there is no figure, it's not about money, it's about their memory. A funeral costing in the thousands achieves the very same goal as an intimate get together with other family members.

How about you guys?

That reminds me. My parents haven't expressed interest in where or how they want their funeral. I'll have to get them to add that to their will.
Personally I prefer cremation. Grave sites are a waste of space imo. Very depressing.

I want my body to be sent to space towards sankt her galaxy so that another civilisation can find my body in the future and make me live again and I'll kill them all.

They're not for the dead, they're for the living. I don't want one, they just make people sad. Not to mention they're expensive.

I don't want a funeral. Burn my body, be done with it.

I can't stand the fact that people are charged a fortune for dying.

Flashy Thing!

I just read (like 2 days ago) that the cost of a funeral in the U.S. is about $7-8,000. I read that there is a slow tread of the dying person funding the funeral prior to their death if they have the extra money for it. Funerals are important for many religious reasons which makes it very unlikely that they will go away.

I would like to keep things pretty minimal for myself but if my family wants to have a huge funeral for me when my time comes. . .I can't stop them.

I personally wouldn't want people spending so much money on me after I'm gone. There's just no point.
