Go to your local crematorium. Pay in advance for cremation only with a plain box for the ashes. Funeral parlors are the third biggest scam - right behind religion and politics.

Imagine funeral homes having booths at airports! Remember when they had those insurance policy machines?

Yea, you used to be able to buy a ton of insurance cheap. Not really reassuring, flying with confidence. Remember getting hijacked to Cuba, the thing back then.

The home is checking you out, Jerry.

I receive these sales boosters on a regular basis. My reply is to contact the local telephone company and make arrangements for them to come by the house and drill a telephone pole hole. When I pass I have told the family to put me in headfirst and toss in some dirt and plant a tree.

Jerry, many people don’t want to think or plan of wills and funerals. Everyone becomes superstitious and they “will do it later!” Later never comes. It is best to set up a will. I have set up a trust for my home and I have a plot for my wife and I. It is best that I can sleep well at night.

Finally, be nice to your children. They are the ones who pick your nursing home. However, my wife reserves the right to pick my nurse. I’m doomed!

Yeah .... & I bet she picks a Male Nurse for you....!!!!

Maybe there's a reason you're getting the survey NOW and not 40 years ago.

Tomorrow is promised to no one, so it makes sense to have all arrangements made so that you know it is done and never have to worry about it. It is also all shared with the kids so they all know the plan.
...... I did tell my wife that since I will probably go first that I'd like a glass Urn so we can watch TV together.....

That's why there are fences around cemeteries. People are dying to get in.

You left out the half a dozen hobbies we get into, over-spend, and then drop.

Fortunately, we did our cruising and traveling when we were young. Back then, we sailed on actual ships, not fifteen-storey monstrosities.

Below is the former SS France, which became the SS Norway. It was a nice, old ship. We boarded it in FL. It wasn't allowed in NY because it didn't meet the modern safety requirements.

The most important final arrangement that you can make is where you will spend eternity after you die The Bible promises that everyone who asks Jesus into their life will spend eternity in heaven with Him (John 3:16). But this is an arrangement that must be made before you pass. Otherwise, you will spend eternity in hell, please make the right choice.

I'm relying on sympathy when the time comes. "Ah, let him in. He's a nice guy."

Sorry, that's NOT an option. Please do not take this lightly, there is only one way to salvation John 3:16

Pretty much all religious texts offer that...
