Funerals are outrageous in price... but at the end of the day I'll be dead.
Ive told my wife and loved ones... once I'm dead you can do what you like with my empty shell. Cremate me, bury me, dress me up in drag... I won't have a care as...again... i'll be dead.
The one thing I ask is that they hold a party and I want everyone to get drunk and remember my life, NOT my death.

You are correct, funerals are expensive and most excessive. If you can keep in mind the a funeral director is a "car salesman", you can deal. How many people have told me that only the funeral homes can supply the casket/coffin. Check the federal regs and learn. It also is NOT a state law to be put in a vault, what about eco-green burials? That ruling is the cemetery ruling, to keep down maintains. You don't even need a funeral director, period!! There are rules and state regs that need to be followed, but they are simple. I made one for my wife and myself, mine has camo lining, would make a nice deer stand. One last thing - how many funeral homes are using China made caskets they can buy in bulk for about three hundred each and charge 3 grand? You would like my coffins to be displayed in, one piece lid that is completely removed for services. Yes go butt naked!!
If your wife was highly intelligent she would just tell you that's fine and promise to bury you naked. Once you are dead you won't know that she lied to you and had you buried in a $5 err nice suit from Goodwill.
Not only naked, you could also get buried in such a way that your corpse will turn into a tree. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust... http://www.capsulamundi.it/en
...and then maybe in a few hundred years, your descendants will chop down said tree and turn you into a pipe. Now THAT'S how I want to go. Make me something useful when my spirit's gone!

My family and friends have been given the instruction to "drag me out in the woods and leave me for the buzzards and coyotes". Dust to dust, circle of life, and so on. I'd rather be eaten by 'yotes than worms anyhow.
Unfortunately, they all insist that doing so would be illegal. So, if they refuse to break the law for me then I would rather be cremated. I don't see the point of taking up perfectly good real estate in a graveyard, marked by a stone.
Then again, my loved ones tell me that the grave and headstone aren't for the departed, they are for the survivors who want a place to visit and remember their departed.
Whatever. I'll be dead anyways. Just don't spend a bunch of money on it. Still ... my choice would be to feed the buzzards and coyotes, not the worms and bugs.

Caskets and funerals run by funeral parlors are humongous rip offs.
Cremation is my choice, and from the cheapest casket allowed by whatever regs are in play. Cardboard would be fine as would pine.

Get buried face down with just the back sticking out so you can still serve as a bicycle stand.... :mrgreen:
I've asked to be cremated and my ashes spread at sea from a Coast Guard Cutter. Placed in a plot of ground in a cemetery means family members are either tied to area or else they move away and never visit the cemetery.
If my ashes are spread at sea, then all my relatives have to do to visit me is go to the nearest body of water.

The expression is buck naked, not butt. It is a derogatory reference to Native Americans which dates back to the 1700s.
And I told my wife to stuff me in a Hefty sack and leave me out at the curb on garbage day. I made it a point to clarify I meant when I die.

This one I made for me, the right material, nice rope handles, comfortable padding, and most of all cheap! (I've got $28.00 in this. All scrap wood and it will hold 4oo pounds.)
I will be cryogenically frozen so when the technology is around to make me whole again, I can finish all the pipe tobacco I own.
Yes, I understand the term is "buck naked". However, I tell people to kiss my butt, or my ass. I don't tell them to kiss my buck. In my post I was referring to my ass (butt). I think everyone who read my post understood what I was saying.
Nicely done. But man when I'm woodworking in my shop I'm doing it so I'm not thinking about death.
