42% of Americans eventually cremated
Per Forbes:
In 1960 the average cost of a funeral was $706 when only 3.56% of bodies were cremated. Today the average traditional funeral costs between $8,000 and $10,000, and about 42% of people are cremated.http://www.forbes.com/sites/perianne...l-life-online/ |

I'm assuming a Viking funeral counts as cremation.

Weddings and Funerals are the most expensive life events, and the biggest waste of money.

I'd be cremated, because I don't want to be held responsible for killing survivors when the zombie apocalypse inevitably occurs.

Not only that, but think about this, how many years have they been burying people in this country? How many people have died? Where in the heck are they going to keep putting everyone if nobody gets cremated?

Only if you want to massively overpay....for them to pump your dead body full of poisons.
If you opt cremation, they keep the body in the cooler until they cremate. If you want your body out for a viewing, then they probably have to embalm to reerun the decomposition.

The only way I'll ever see the Chiefs win another playoff game is if I have my family burn me to ashes and spread me out over the field.
Yes, I'm aware this is not allowed and Illegal. What are you going to do? Send some poor slob out there with a shop vac to clean me up?...

I wonder how they go about burying a bum that died do they just cremate and put him in a back corner of a cemetary with a little marker on a plot of land and the state pays for it?

Alot of unmarked graves where I live. Don't know if they cremate the homeless or bury them.
