The process has become over-sentimentalized and over-commercialized to the point that funeral directors take advantage of people's grieving and exploit them by charging ridiculous prices for their services. We've turned death into a commodity, complete with a pretty, formaldehyde-infused corpse to present. You're paying for a product you don't need because our society's culture has deemed that this is how it must be done.

I can actually completely understand that view. I think it's common knowledge that it cost a lot to die. That is just sad to think about. Who wants to be a burden on the family they leave behind? I'd rather my family mourn my loss without the anxiety of paying off a bill, so that they can easily transition into celebrating my life. I think life should be celebrated as much as loss should be grieved. Money ruins everything.
