When my dad passed away, he wanted to be cremated. Did'nt even want a funeral or service, but being Italian, no way my mom was letting that happen...
At the funeral home we were picking out a casket for him. The funeral director was trying to sell me this $10,000 thing made out of mahogany or some other exotic crap. He's saying stuff like, dont you want the best for your father? I told the guy, ( who was also a member of dads american legion post..) "Listen, 48 hrs from now it is going to be a lump of charcoal, besides, if my old man sees me spending that much money on one, he will haunt and torture me for the rest of my life. Give me the nice cheap one..."
$1,100 later...
