I haven't walked in their shoes, so I don't understand the reason a nice burial at little cost to their loved ones is a big anxiety for someone who never had the same anxiety about saving some money every month so that eventually a decent burial would be a small portion of their final estate.
I expect it has to do with how we as a nation deal with poverty. We give people fish, but we don't teach them how to fish.

I don't think there's any easier dupe than a poor old person.
Poverty is all about cycles. People learn how to be poor and then teach their children.
