I think you'll find that most baby-boomers are more interested in enjoying their money while alive than comfortable oblivion. In any case you'll find that an elaborate funeral doesn't provide a lot more net profit than a mean one. The money for the big, fancy headstone goes to the stonemason. The money for the big service goes to the newspapers, the printers, the live orchestra, the dancing girls, the acrobats, the priest, the mobile petting zoo and the venue.

In essence the funeral director gets labour, an administration charge, and a moderate margin on costs.

We do best with simple, easy, quick funerals that we can do lots of.
