Now they have got the cost of cremation jacked up comparable to full burial costs. The mark-up on caskets is humongous..  You can get the same casket buying it at Costco as what is afford at the funeral home for 2 or 3 times the price. Your best bet is to discuss all this dying stuff with your next of kin before hand and tell them to go as cheap as possible to remain legal when you die. When you are gone -you are gone and the cost of your funeral won't influence anything afterward other than how broke your family is.</p></blockquote><p></p>
