Funeral expenses

[Abaddon_ire]

I keep seeing these ads on TV for Funeral expenses insurance.

WTF?

I have already told my progeny that when my time comes, put me in a cardboard box, pour on some petrol and light a match.

Um, pretty sure that's not a legal way to dispose of a body in the USA. You don't want your progeny to get charged, do you? :-)
Cremation is probably the cheapest option short of donating your body to science; you don't even have to do anything fancy with the ashes.

It's called hyperbole. Look it up.

Bottom line is I told them not to waste time or money on it. I won't be there. Fuck the flowers and the singer and the priest. Who are those things for? Certainly not for the corpse.
