God that thing made me so mad. I had to watch someone else gently caress up a sandwich, but in like a good way, in order to calm down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiGMleWwYX0

Or it's so that people can pay for their own funeral and not leave their children with a massive bill. Genuinely not seeing what the problem with this one is, unless you think you're not going to die.

There is a series of businesses at least in the UK, don't know if they are in the US, called Co-op that used to just be a supermarket but expanded to other things, including funeral arrangements. On their ATM machines they have a screen that cycles through all of their offered services that now fall under their umbrella, but I wish they'd add maternity care. That way, they could legitimately say "Coop: Looking after you from Cradle to Grave!"

I will say that I saw a Hyundai commercial on Tuesday or Wednesday that explicitly called out Covid-19-related financial burdens as part of their “Assurance Program” to keep payments going.

Yeah there was a Cadillac commercial like that I half paid attention to the other day. I think it was touting the fact you could totally order direct online and it would be delivered by a local dealer to your house.

God the world is not ready for Boomer levels of "keeping up with the joneses" funerals and headstones. You were expecting to inherit the house? Too bad it has to be sold to cover the 6 figure cost of the antique wood casket and authentic pink marble gravestone because that bitch Karen had a mother of pearl inlained coffin and imported quartz and she might've beat me in life but not in death. Funerals are for the living to bask and cherish the attentions of people telling them how important their dead relative was. All the memorials and tombstones are just for the living to visit and tell about how great that person is when despite all that within 100 years almost no one will ever visit the grave or have any clue who that person was. From an outside perspective its pretty ghoulish. I don't have a will but if I did under "Burial" if would contain words "cheapest option possible including don't claim the body if needed"

These businesses advertise all the time. My mother's got a month or two to pay on the plan she set up for her and my father, so their funeral costs don't land on my siblings or me. Maybe you disagree with the idea of paying for a funeral or something, but someone has to and plans like this mean the matter is dealt with at a time when people aren't recently bereaved. Personally, I want to be fed to lions once I'm dead, but the local safari park didn't respond to my question on Facebook.

At my grandmother's funeral, my mom told me proudly how they'd found a BOGO deal on coffins for grandma & grandpa. I thought she was joking and laughed. She was not.

I have many conflicting feelings about my funeral. Do I want a weekend at Bernie’s style messaround, or have my coffin spring-loaded so I pop out of the coffin when the first person comes up, or maybe I just want my body used in some kind of prank and then discarded. The possibilities are really quite vast

I always thought being buried with a ton of stone tools and crude gold jewelry would be awesome. Then there's a chance that thousands of years from now some scientist would mistake me for someone important!

That reminds me of a great episode of Time Team where they found a bunch of items that were assorted Roman things but that didn't make sense together - they initially thought it was a massive find, then they found out that some idiot in 1870 or something got hold of the items, and buried them in his back garden as a prank on future archeologists. They weren't disappointed however, because while what they found wasn't a roman bathhouse or whatever, a 150 year old prank is still something that got them excited, because in a way history had included them in a long-running punchline.

My end of life plan is that when my body and/or mind start to go I'm going to liquidate all my assets and use the money to fund one of those African safari trips, and then I'll "accidentally" wander away from the tour group. If getting eaten by a lion because you were too slow to keep up with the group was good enough for my distant ancestors, it'll be good enough for me, too.
