Damn, they don't give a fukk.

Yeah, I've seen 20/20 reports on the funeral home business. They make stacks of cash on just the caskets. It is expensive to have a funeral.
If you want to bury someone, you can't buy your own casket and bring it because there are discount retailers out there. You must buy it from them. These are thousands of dollars for each casket. That doesn't include other costs like body preparation, the funeral, the burial, headstone, burial plot.

I had thought of creating a business, kind of like a Walmart funeral and cemetery. The only thing is that you would have to have the body buried at a faraway location as opposed to a nearby location. The caskets would be inexpensive. The funeral costs would be thousands of dollars less. The only thing is that if you like lived in New York or California, the cemetery would be in a low real estate cost\middle of nowhere Montana location. So, it would be a trek to visit the burial plot.

We had my pops cremated when he passed. Had some of our family members on his side of the family pissed because we didn't have him laid out in a casket, but we ain't hear nobody talking about putting in on it. :martin: We had a plot at Evergreen Cemetery in Brooklyn, but me and my mother knew that there wasn't no room in there. That would have been some dough too, to open up a new gravesite. The finances weren't the problem, it was just that my mother wouldn't have dealt well with seeing him like that. But dealing with it firsthand was an eye opening experience into how much hustle there is in the funeral business.
