[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also don't get it. In fact, I find it very disrespectful to the deceased and everyone. Embalming, makeup, etc., makes absolutely no sense at all. [/quote] Well, you can skip a lot of stuff, but if you skip embalming you’re going to pay for refrigeration unless they go from place of death directly to the crematory; when I was in the market refrigeration per day was quoted at about what embalming costs. While they cannot require embalming, US funeral directors view it (and not without reason) as making the remains easier and safer to handle. It also typically is one of the least expensive things on the funeral menu. What runs up the price is the typically very high charge for “basic services,” which essentially includes being in business and answering the phone. [/quote]
