How Much Does It Cost To Die (USA)

I told my wife to just throw my corpse in a ditch for the coyotes. Probably not the most legal of things to do, however.

I told my daughter to put my body in a w/c and push it off a mountain side .
I don’t to waste money being buried . I am Jewish and we’re not allow to be cremated but I want this done as cheap as possible . It really depend the kind of
funeral is given . It start a $7,000 -$10,000 some people will pay more if they want to impress people .

IIRC in Israel coffins are only used in military or state funerals; for ordinary Jewish funerals the body is buried in just the shroud.

You can donate your body, but medical schools are very careful about who (what?) they will accept. No nasty diseases etc. They also like the body to be as fit and complete as possible (apart from being dead).

The reminds me of the director’s commentary for The Return of the Living Dead. Apparently the used real human skeletons from India as props for the medical supply warehouse; all of which appeared to be of young adults with perfect teeth. The first Poltergeist also used real human skeletons as they were cheaper than fake ones.

You can’t just throw it in your van in a Hefty bag.

Well sh*t, this kind of rules out my plan for Uncle Anakin.

On the level, I’m having a hard time finding any laws against building a funeral pyre for Uncle Anakin. Do any states have laws against open-air cremations?

Not on the Jedi side, but I’ve got this damned body to get rid of . . .
