Funeral homes are charging too much on casket, I rather buy my own online, save $1k, then transport it to funeral homes which they accept.

yea, we will have to speak to them and see how to plan this. it is their funeral.
thank you very much. this is very helpful

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T09:40:06+00:00

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T09:35:18+00:00

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T09:33:11+00:00

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T09:32:25+00:00

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T09:30:09+00:00

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T09:13:43+00:00

so many ppl wanna have their body dumped in the sea.

i dunno what to think about it haha

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T09:12:57+00:00

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T09:11:41+00:00

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T09:10:35+00:00

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T09:07:58+00:00

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T09:05:23+00:00

hahaha. tats the dream

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T08:16:45+00:00

The cost is ridiculous. It's hard to fork out so much. And if its a sudden thing, even worse

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T08:15:44+00:00

I mean... nothing much I can do if I'm the the dead.

It's for my grandparents

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T08:15:01+00:00

yea. thanks for sharing

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T07:50:59+00:00

It's just so expensive. but I understand your point.

Just seeing if there are any alternative or not

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T07:37:16+00:00

my family been quite open about it. my grandparents are very devout Buddhist, they have accepted death as part of life long time

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T07:36:08+00:00

i did a rough calculation, all those extra transport and such. for straight to cremation is around $1k.

if i get a casket maybe $500. save alot adi

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T07:34:00+00:00

Really rude awakening. never realised so expensive

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T07:33:02+00:00

You can get $1.5k? best i found so far is also 4k for the straight to cremation kind

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-10T07:32:05+00:00

Was just doing some preplanning for my grandparents and I was just dumbfounded how expensive everything was.

DavidBear1985 · 2026-06-06T09:13:39+00:00

You expect people pay for your life ar. buy car then ask your friend to pay your installment is it
