Do you know how much it costs to be cremated? In OK as of March 1 it was 1029.69 No frills, no container, just a bag of ashes returned to you. I have to wonder how many people or their family could afford this? Only by the grace of the crematorium, did they hold the body an extra week so his friends could raise the money.
If we had not raised the money, he would have been buried in an unmarked grave by the county. It used to be only those with no one to claim the body were buried there but now, as we were told by the crematorium, the county has had to recently expand the land used for disposal because of the increase in people who can not even afford basic services.
Not only will Nocare kill millions, mass graves may be the standard in the future.
This is NOT the America my ancestors and current family have fought and died for.

(4,527 posts)they were more than likely suggesting a small portion of the ashes. My point was many people who will die from this will be too poor to afford to even be cremated in the first place. Their bodies will be "disposed of" by the county.

Perhaps sending him decorative funeral urns once a week to fill his office with would be more appropriate.
