Prices for the ground never seem to drop dead. I went out looking for cremation space. Not tossing the lot in the air, and buying airspace, no I was shopping for ground space for the urn. The family already has three full size lots purchased and paid for since the 1970's. Yet, that doesn't count, or give one space. There's more to being down under that just the digging.
Living and learning with the fashion of remains to plant the "cremains" or "cremaines" or "cremanes" is EXPENSIVE. Nothing but expensive, sans the burial luncheon, a headstone or the new methods of planting the remains of the cremains (the correct spelling). Under, over, with others, with or without container, with or without markers (formerly known as headstones)... and then who, what, where and when.
Options are endless and growing dying. Odd as that sentence may be; I might not be the first to pay the insurance policy for cremation( about $2,000 twenty years ago), but the planting expense I leaqrned was not included in that budget. Prayer cards, newspaper notices, and all the items and actions that were socially correct, are not negotiable now, and possibly useless to have one hundred prayer cards for the new-age, Buddhist and agnostic. Hopefully, someone will look at the Obituary tab to know, since there was no consideration given for email notification of the deceased Contact List at the time of the contract creation.
What else should I plan for?
The other unspoken costs are increasing and the situation will render lots of time to decide how. With or without. The current budget for this section of the activity ranges from $1,200 to $2,200 (as of this writing).
Is this where I decide to actually pay for the 'view' or pay per view?
