i wasn't sure where to post this so i guess it goes in the life after section...
right off the bat they showed the really nice casket. then they walk you around from the low end to the ridiculous sublime. $775 to a mere $10,000. looking but not finding the built-in dvd player, i asked, "isn’t 10 grand a little steep?" she said “there’s a purpose for a toyota and there’s a purpose for a jaguar.” i said, “well, maybe, but mom always cautioned ‘don’t drive the jag into the ground.’”
i found the ol’man’s funeral expenses while looking for our cemetery information. just started pricing mom’s funeral. including both in & out of state services, casket, shipping, burial, etc. (pretty much the same stuff both times) 1993 cost was $7,500. 2006 cost will be $8,314. what’s that like a 0.9% inflation rate? i can live with that.
