When my mom passed I was surprised how similar cremation and an actual burial were.

It’s little to no difference.

I was in shock at the time with an unexpected death but I remember being taken aback by the lack of a differential.

Forgive me for this, but I have to do it.



I also apologize that the quote isn't quite right.





In all seriousness, that's a tough one. I hope you find a good solution.

1. Look up the number to the hospital.

2. If the phone rings with any variation of that number, don't answer.

3. Profit.

What happens if he does nothing?


If he does nothing, she will become a "coroner's case". This means the facility will contact the coroner of the county/parish she lives in and they will send someone to pick up her body. It will be cremated then placed in an area with all of the other cremated remains that were not claimed by family. Sadly, this is more common than people want to believe. With the cost of funerals, even cremations (around $1500-$2000), some families have no choice.

Can't do this. This would have had to be prearranged prior to death and as of a few months ago, most places were still not accepting because of Covid rules. It's not as easy as it sounds to donate your body to science.

So my question is what do I do if the hospital tells me she passed away.




Then hang up.

Can we first count the number of iPhones and Galaxy phones before we declare everyone in the family totally decrepit? I'm nearly fricked out on seeing a chick behind the Burger King counter that has a phone released a month ago.

Priorities. Don't care about your fam, but you care about your phone, your nails, your whip, etc.

Stop taking agency from people. They have responsibility. They're not subject to exigent circumstances like the poor bastards in OH, over which they had no control.

Sounds like her problem, honestly.

Does the mom have/Is she going to leave daughter any money?

Not to be a dick, but when the divorce was final, you’re no longer responsible for that kind of stuff. Obviously you should support your daughter in helping bury her mother, but if I were you, I’d expect to be reimbursed from the estate for any burial expenses that landed in my lap.

looks like the Ex found a way to get more money out of you even at the end. I understand why your doing it for your daughter would be my guess. Good enough reason in my book and your daughter will appreciate you even more when she gets older and has her own kids.

My thoughts went straight to "things to say in a shoot interview".

An actual burial didn't cross my mind l.

She's mentally ill and broke. As recently as 3 years ago she was remarried to a rich guy who had a Ferrari and bought her a brand new convertible BMW. Then he put her up in a super nice apartment for a year after they separated. Now they're divorced. She's still in the apartment due to the eviction moratorium in L.A. County but that's coming to an end. Now she's in intensive care with a serious heart condition. It's really a sad situation tbh.

The deceased has to elect for this to happen, and the paperwork needs to be filled out/signed by them. We ran into this problem when my sister died unexpectedly. We all knew that was her wishes, but at 31, who thinks they need to make those arrangements?

We had to do this same thing with my wife’s aunt. A funeral home cremated her for $2000, and we bought an urn on Amazon for less than $50. The funeral home urns we’re hundreds of dollars, and the ‘burial package’ for a damn urn was something like $1500 more. We dug a small hole at the family plot and put some ashes there so she could be with her parents. Her best friend took some and I think he sister took some. We have the rest on a book case in our living room.

I'm thinking cremation and a small service in an extended family member's home. Does that sound correct?


There is a funeral home in Denham Springs (Range) that is offering cremation services for $995.00.

This is the cheapest you will find.
