Another shooting in Hampton

[Tater]

Yeah, I did. And that story is all kinds of fucked up. There ain’t a funeral home in existence that don’t live to profit off the grieving and a longer casket has to cost more.

True but funerals are for the living. The deceased don't care

That's right, and that man behind the saw best keep his eyes looking over his shoulder for a long time, because if that was my daddy...I'd aim to return the favor and not wait for him to get cold.

Yeah, the dead have no feelings. But the living do. Oh, boy. Big ones.

[centurian]

AND a lot of those gold rings and teeth don't go in the dirt either. But they won't be needing them.

Side note but has anyone read the story in Fitsnews tied to the funeral home owner tied to AM

Apparently previous owner of funeral had a man for funeral that was 6’7” and family kept wonder how they got him in the casket.

Finally the coroner or somebody had body exhumed and apparently the funeral home just sawed suckers legs off below the knees and put them in the casket to keep from having to use a longer casket.

What's the big deal about that? I once ran a call where a guy ran into a tree at warp factor five. Car was totally involved when we got there with victim inside. After using all the tools we had, including the Hurst too,l we could not get a leg out from under the front seat to remove the body. With approval from the coroner, I cut his leg off at the knee, only way to get him out. He never complained once.

Anyone who served the public in Fire, LE or EMS will have stories ...some that will make a BillyGoat puke.

Cut me up, chop me up, burn me up, whatever. It's just a box of carbon and water. I won't be in there so do what you will. If smaller caskets are cheaper then fold me into thirds.

Won't be an issue as I'm getting cremated anyway. Cemeteries are a bigger waste of real estate than golf courses.

Told the wife to just roll me out in the ditch and cover me up with leaves. Animals will eat you and you will live on.

[Glenn]

If only that were legal. But no. Even in death we're dot gov'd and regulated "to death".

[Duck Nitz]

Just because we're bereaved, doesn't make us saps...

[centurian]

Pre-plan and save all those hard decisions for the bereaved. You can even pay in advance and beat inflation. Pick grave site, casket, clothes, music and even direct your own service if you want. Hey this is one service we will all need sooner than later.

[Highstrung]

If there's not a big fat lady singing Amazing Grace at mine there will be people cut out of my will.

Certainly didn't mean to insinuate anyone grieving the loss of a loved one is a sap.

My point was my earthly body, while chiseled and awesome to behold, isn't anything to stress or get upset over. Once God calls me home, that is where I will be. So do with the package what you will. I won't care. Cut it, burn it, bend it, donate it, whatever. I'll finally be with my Father and free from all this mess we call a world. Cry because you miss me. But don't cry because I'm dead to the world.
