Here in the islands where everything is expensive. I decided to just pay for cremation. It’s going to cost 1200 bucks to come pick me up and then cremate me. My family can go pick up the cardboard box and take me up to the mountains and down to the ocean. Have a party at home, bring your ukulele or guitar and pa’ina. They know that’s what I want.

That’s all I know. Good luck mate. Especially good luck to your wife in her healing too. Aloha.

Also, look at ship direct caskets, etc. woodsprite Nov 2022 #7

Shipped caskets are cheaper than the ones you buy at the funeral home. Funeral home has to accept it 3Hotdogs Nov 2022 #8
