In the ground, or in the fire, what's your choice for when that time comes?

My wife and I both went to the funeral home about 3 years ago and pre-paid our cremations. I don't want them to do a funeral or anything. The only thing they do is when they get our bodies, if the family wants to see us one last time, they will lay us out on a table with a sheet over and they can come in and see us before they pack us off to be cremated. We will both have going home services at our church (no charge) and my daughter can have some of the ashes if she wants and Carol can have the rest.
At the time it was about $1600 each but I think it has gone up considerably since then.

My wife and I both opt to get cremated. She wants her ashes spread in the ocean. I could care less where I’m dumped. Makes no difference to me.
That is how I feel. I have always wondered why it costs thousands of dollars to put a human in the ground, but if a horse or cow dies, get a backhoe, dig a deep hole and push them in.Whatever is cheapest. I’d be ok with the backyard if it was legal.
Or there’s this…kill two birds with one stone.
True story: My great uncle died in Atlanta and they were trying to get my great aunt to pay some crazy price for transport to the plot in TN.
She got mad and walked out yelling "Well y'all can just keep him!"
He was transported the next morning and the bill was processed through the VA.
