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.

Yeah, the dead have no feelings. But the living do. Oh, boy. Big ones.
AND a lot of those gold rings and teeth don't go in the dirt either. But they won't be needing them.
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.

If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.
Missing you my great friend.
dang
At least I'm housebroken.
Anyone who served the public in Fire, LE or EMS will have stories ...some that will make a BillyGoat puke.

Just Damn.
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.
If only that were legal. But no. Even in death we're dot gov'd and regulated "to death".
Just because we're bereaved, doesn't make us saps...
At least I'm housebroken.
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.
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.
