Just because we're BEREAVED doesn't mean we're SAPS!

Not sure how much it actually costs to make since it’s covered in some kind of wax or with a thicker base to protect the crematory furnace.

So it’s probably something made by a certain number of manufacturers with low production runs.

From what I recall at the funeral home after my dad died, in the US you cannot be buried in this, it’s ONLY for a non-viewing cremation.

It may depend on your state. In any event, I wouldn’t take the funeral home’s word for it. Ask a competent lawyer.

You shouldn't be buried anyway. Total waste of space.

A trip through the shredder costs $115.
