AND you remove price gouging grieving people....

My Uncle passed last week and while there were still things to tend to, having the pre-planned/pre-paid funeral in place did help make things less stressful and did ease the situation.

There's always the cheap option of donating your body to science. The most spiritual Christian I know is doing that when she passes. She's 90 now.

Is she doing it to save funeral costs or as a help to medical science

Dad paid for mom's funeral and let me and my brother make most of the decisions, which worked out well, since he was not in a good state.
We made it clear we wanted something midrange. We werent going to he sucked into a only-the-best-for-mom emotional trap.
Heck, what we picked I wouldn't mind and getting for myself :)
It was beautiful.
We did leave the final choices for dad to make to keep him part of the process. It helped that we had 10 days to work it out, so were not rushed.

Probably both, but her family can afford a funeral and gravesite (or cremation), so I don't think saving money is the major issue. It's more like, hey, I'll be heaven and won't need that body of clay anymore, so if cutting it up can help advance medicine, count me in.

prearranged my moms funeral. No big deal really. She wants to be cremated. I have POA and am executor of the estate. problem is to make sure everyone gets their inheritance. Big headache...

That's a good idea.
Personally, I would prefer my body be left in the woods so that some animals could consume it (a "circle of life" thing), but my wife won't go along with that. Maybe she'll go along with donating to science.

Knowing what happens in that particular option, I opt not.
