  • I so agree with you. A lot of the local hospitals around here have trouble with people who leave their dead kids at the hospital and never come to claim them. I am not sure how they handle it, but I know in some places they use inmates and people doing community service to go to the hospitals and pick up dead babies to bury in donated plots. Very sad.

  • That is really sad.

  • The lottery? Yep - sad, indeed.

    Answer? I don't have one.

    It seems to me that so much of life is a crap shoot -

    I mean, where we are born determines so much of "WHO" we really are - more than likely we will not choose a vastly different life-style from the culture we grow up in. Not many people choose to swim against the stream. Sorry. This is completely off topic - except to say who is rich and who is poor is often times more a factor of birth than life choices. Important vid, woman!

  • That is so true. Thank you!

  • Burials= a waste of money, the government shouldn't pay for funerals.

  • This is one reason why having life insurance is important. Even a very small, modest $10k policy or less.

    Past that, even though the average funernal cost $7 or 8k according to the commericals, that is still the "average". I have to believe that one can be buried for a fraction of that price. No casket with gold plating, or extra fluffy trim. Heck I'd honestly be happy with a pine box.

  • As nice as that sounds, when it costs $700 just to get the coroner's office to release the body to the crematorium and then you must pay for the cremation and the memorial, it is still beyond the reach of many.

    It is really a sorry situation.

  • My mother-in -law keeps her second husband in a hand hammered copper vase I brought back from Egypt. My favorite uncle has become one with the Pacific where he spent his last years as a fisherman.

    Every home should have a kind of Lararium, a place where the home's Genius Loci and one's friends and ancestors can be remembered together.

  • "Funerals are a waste of flowers." Rather wish I had thought that up myself. The last one I attended was for my father nearly 35 years ago. The Army paid for that, mostly. Since then, everyone I know has been cremated, and I attend only memorials. A friend keeps his younger brother in cardboard on a mantle over the fireplace of his cabin. Our daughter has created a shrine of dried roses, dragons, faeries, and other whimsical characters to guard her aunt on the piano. It needn't cost much.

  • Indeed!

  • that is why I would want to be chrmated
