25 Funeral Facts Families Learn Too Late

These are all very useful. Thanks, Mike and Company!

Thanks for this....good info. We were blessed that my parents had already made arrangements.

I have a pre paid funeral. I’m being cremated and have told my family that they can do whatever they want after that. Great advice

Great list. These are important to know,because you never know when a crisis may happen. A couple years ago,I found my father deceased in an Arizona motel room and had to deal with police and coroners, as well as make arrangements for him. I was most worried about taking his ashes home on the plane. TSA was very respectful with the ashes as they tested the exterior of the plastic container.

I want a mushroom burial!!!! I'd rather become space than take up space!

My mom had a prepaid plan and it still cost over $10,000

Cremation and we will have a separate memorial service in my church later. They can put my ashes in a shoebox for all I care.

Thanks for the video. Cremation for me.

I am going to offer my carcass to the medical education department.

My Dad works in funeralcare in the UK

MostUniversities with a decent med school have a pretty cool thing that I'm personally doing when I'm done with this world..the school takes the body, does medical stuff with it, then sends it back to the family and pays for whatever you and your peeps have planned.. whether you're going the entire funeral route (yes headstone is included), or cremation.. but you have to contact said university before you expire😊

Years ago, I set up medical donation with cremation for my mom, husband and myself. When my mom died at home in 2017 (I found her and that was the absolute worst part of this experience), I called 911 (the kind officers stayed with me until she was transported), then the company who I contracted with who then contacted the local mortuary service (they arrived within 3 hours). Mom was then flown to the company's Florida facility. After roughly 4 weeks, her cremains were returned to me with a lovely card thanking me. There was absolutely no cost.

My family knew our funeral director who was a member of our church. Also my best friend took care of headstones. We all discussed what plans we wanted so when both my parents passed at different times their funerals were already planned. My mum had my dad cremated and my friend made the headstone exactly what was wanted especially because he was a veteran. When my mum passed I was in charge of everything. So she was cremated in a cardboard box and then I picked out a beautiful biodegradable piece that she was buried in. My family never feared death ❣️

when both my mother and father were cremated the only thing we had to pay for was the wooden "slab" and a sheet that was used to cover them before placed into the cremator unit

My grandmother, brother and mom were cremated. That's what I want, too.

Actually. I’m sparing my son the trouble. I’m donating my body to science.

I had my brother cremated when he passed in 2022. It was a direct cremation. The funeral director was somebody I have known for years. He walked me through what I needed to do. He is also the one who took care of helping me plan my dad's service and all when he passed in 2011. Very good at making sure things were like I wanted in both cases and to keep costs down as much as possible.

I lost my fiancé a year ago and I wish I knew this before he died. Love your vids

Just wrap me in a blanket and throw me in a hole, once I'm dead I'm not going to care all this fanciness is for the living,😂
