fuck thousands for a coffin. or hundreds for an urn. can i legally be burried in butcher paper?

can i donate my body to science and skip burrial all together?

    The cheapest method is to abandon the body. People die without family all the time and the State has a method to dispose of unclaimed corpses. Cost $0

      That doesn’t stick it to the industry though. Still gets them paid. It’s not about saving the money from what I can tell

        Abandon the body on the doorstep of the funeral company you’re angriest at. If there are several, first disassemble the body into as many pieces as there are doorsteps.

          And then the state foots the bill…providing money to the company you are angriest at. That doesn’t work for OP’s scenario
