I'm opting for a cremation 
after they take any organs that may be good for anyone else.....i figure i wont be needing them anymore and i'm not keen on getting buried...I'm claustrophobic 
after they take any organs that may be good for anyone else.....i figure i wont be needing them anymore and i'm not keen on getting buried...I'm claustrophobic Me being an Atheist I have instructed my family the cost of disposing of my remains presant day cost is around $4 thousand dollars cheap as chips. They can do what they want with my ashes.
My dear friend whom was 86 when she passed away her being an atheist too she had a cheapo funeral no one attended , her ashes were given to us and we mixed her fave dog and goats ashes with her ashes and we all scattered them around the horse paddock. It was a windy day and the ashes blew all over my face it was an awesome way to say goodbye.
total cost $4 thousand dollars it wasn't about the money she just didn't want a funeral and neither do I plus the thought of these greedy funeral mobs make way too much money on grieving family and friends.

your soul moves on. I agree the price of burial is rediculous and have suggested the cheap option for me,the less they spend on me dead the more the family gets

Good thread 
I also find the funeral and associated industries fascinating.
In trying to facilitate a career change some time back, I had a think about what industries would thrive regardless of economic ups and downs and the funeral industry not only interested me, but had the promise of stable employment.
Studied up on it and applied for several jobs but no luck, a very difficult industry to break into.
I'm gonna be buried with my Mum and big sis at a local lawn cemetery

On a number of occasions people have died just up above Eudlo, the teachers and long term students never ever notify the so called experts, AMA or others, until the person has actually departed.
Can take between 3 and 27 days after the final breath and heart has stopped before subtle energy has left body and entered the Bardo...
In this country most people going through the dying process, are stuffed into a freezer, have body parts removed, or are embalmed or in other way disturbed while subtle levels consciousnesses exists long before they would otherwise actually be dead

well sounds like there might be a bonus. I would gather your funeral expenses would be taken care of , an added bonus being an employee. 
It would be a dead end job though
