If you remember that friendly Boston bar called "Cheers" where
"everybody knows your name" - well, as we all know everybody knows more about us than just our names. As an octogenarian I recently received in the mail an inquiry from a local funeral parlor which was followed up by their "kit'. Their price list was mind boggling. For those of you who vow to take it with you when you go, their top casket price is $9800. which gives you "Classic gold solid 48 oz. bronze brushed with ebony highlights champagne velvet interior." If you find this too ornate they also offer what they refer to as "Alternative Containers" whose rock bottom price is $255. for a "Trayview Cardboard construction woodgrain appearance." Ouch! My old Irish grandmother used to say "Give the garbage man a quarter!" But I'll bet even he has had a price increase. Above offered with no obligation on your part.
