I think the funeral business (in large part) takes advantage of people at their WORST possible time of their lives. JMO. If someone wants to do something, just have a party and enjoy yourselves talking about memories, etc. I'd rather people enjoying themselves (cheaply) than a somber occasion with an expensive casket that's going to be buried anyways.

good point- of the 25k we have "budgeted" for funeral expenses, maybe I should write a will and require 10k of it be spent at a party.
