depends alot on the state you die in

some states have a lot of regulations that make it more expensive

tips on funerals

funerals.org

? Most people die without making funeral arrangements, forcing their grieving family to make tough decisions and overpay on funeral costs. Join your local Memorial Society and make those decisions yourself, ahead of time.
? Don't prepay for a funeral. You could move to another city or the funeral home could go out of business.

I haven't been to the zoo in a while, but I can't imagine it would be too much more than $10 to get in. Once inside there are a variety of creative ways you could employ to get the job done.

in india they put you in a bundle of sticks and burn your dead body. then they take the ashes and spread it in the ganges. is it legal for someone to do it themselves here in the states?

I do believe it would be hard to burn my own body and scatter my own ashes...

Many funeral homes will rip you a new one without a care.

In Korea, you can try to kill youself with a can of fuel and a lighter.... er it doesn't always work... :eek:

Yeah, DIY funerals can be kind of tricky to pull off.

Does it really matter? You'll be dead at the time anyway, leave the problem of the body to the living! They do it all the time to us :(
