nothing illegal about just getting dropped in a hole as-is on private property most places
That’s not true for good reason- people who don’t know what they’re doing could contaminate groundwater/runoff very easily.
It shouldn’t be as expensive as it is, and I’d support dropping unembalmed corpses without certain diseases (an asymptomatic or undiagnosed prion disease could be incredibly dangerous) in a hole, as long as they are adequately buried. That would require an autopsy and either significant refrigeration costs or a rushed job without embalming though.
Had this conversation recently when my wife died. She wanted to be cremated with no embalming but wanted a visitation. In the US you have to be embalmed to have a visitation. No amount of pleading to just put her in an ice bath would work sadly.
You can’t have a visitation with someone who has been cremated? Are you positive thats not a state specific thing?
Maybe there is something else you can call it? It just surprises me because my grandmother and an uncle where both cremated, and we had services. I thought they were visitations.
can’t have y without x and if you get x you need z. we’ve conveniently packaged it together in our x-z package for a low cost of $6999. isn’t this what the dearly departed would want from you? don’t they deserve the best??
and that’s why I’m a complete fucking asshole. I don’t deserve the best. I deserve to rot in a culvert on the outskirts of the airport.
People are so toxic that they want to be toxic after they die too.
I just want to be dumped off at the landfill or ground up and used for fertilizer after giving up any useful organs.
It’s surprisingly difficult to get that treatment.
Just compost me. Throw my body into the green cart. Why do I need to spend so much money?
Holy bourgeoise, batman! Just befriend a rancher. We are all compost in training, it’s not that hard

Even in death we must feed the machine.
Just grill me.
Never forget to empty the grease tray for your homie

I think they meant she wanted her body to be seen before cremation, and the funeral home wouldn’t do that without embalming her.
I see I see. Ok yea that I could believe.
Yea, this is it. Guess it wasn’t s clear. Visitation and then cremation.
because the funereal business is a sham.
