My brother died at the end of June. When he knew he was seriously ill he told he did not want a funeral, a direct cremation instead. Who is this idiot to ask me to think twice about what my brother looked me in the eye and said? Scared profiteer.

Why do i want this so bad 😂

I suppose a memorial service can take place after this has happened, if that’s someone’s wish or some small ceremony, once ashes are returned, as someone I know has done with there fathers ashes. Personally when it’s my time, as a Catholic, I want a requiem mass & burial. I have no wish to put in the oven. I realise about following someone wishes I just find a direct cremation morbid & those left behind, may find some comfort in the planning of a funeral as the final send off. Is this all money based, I wonder!

Felicitations 💯 pour votre achat🎉❤

Funeral Directors are like con men. They know all the right things to say to extract your money from you - but when you see the "undercover" documentaries of what some of these businesses actually do it's disgusting and totally profit driven - often taking advantage of grieving relatives. 😡

That's what I've paid for

How many do the chapels hold please

He is going to say this, over the years Funeral Directors have made a lot of money with their charges and also taking a commission and all the other services offered from an FD.

As a son who has lost his mum 2 weeks ago, all I ask is if you are considering this - please, think of your family. My mum didn't have a big family, her wishes were for a simple direct cremation. While she was alive I thought to myself "that's a bit shit, it'll be weird, I'd rather you didn't but if it's what you want - okay" Now that she's gone, even after seeing her body, knowing full well she's not coming back, it didn't make it set in any more. I personally hate funerals, everything about them and I doubt I'd even get half way through the eulogy before showing way more emotions than I'd ever show in public. That being said, I'm sure a funeral is part of the grieving process and while it continues long after the process, that moment of the curtains closing at the very least is almost the end of a chapter. I have no doubt that the lack of a funeral is going to prolong the grieving process. You may think that no fuss is the way to go. Ultimately whoever you are, there will be a fuss and long after you're gone, people will still be mourning your loss, don't deprive them of an opportunity to make that easier or to gain some sort of closure, ending one chapter and beginning another. Not only am I losing out on that, I've spent the last 2 weeks explaining to other people just as confused as I am as to why there won't be a funeral. While I'm going by her wishes, it almost feels like a judgement on me, that I'm not arranging the send off that my mum deserves, although maybe that's just me feeling guilt on myself for not trying to change it. I've paid the extra for a wooden coffin instead of a cardboard one and arranged a proper urn instead of a cardboard box, but that was virtually all the freedom I had in trying to give her what she wanted vs what she deserved. Even once she comes back to us in that proper urn in a few weeks time, it's not going to make the process any further forward. Just please, think of the impact on those left behind, I understand a funeral in itself will have nearly double the financial impact at least, but I'd argue that the mental impact is far worse.

i was scrolling through hurricane reports and clips and this pops up....excrementally poor taste. Caitlin Doughty was right about funeral homes.

Don't have family

good to see this as an termilly ill young man from Caerphilly im thinking maybe direct cremation option worried tho as very tall guy at 7ft 3 tall but slim build ?

Thank you so much for this info that I don't need to know

Hh

Be gone brand

Think long and hard about direct cremation because people who have had this service are sorry.! I myself would not have one if you have family and friends.! One thing I have 48 years experience in the trade I know what I am talking about .

It comes down to being educated, having full knowledge of as loved one’s wishes, as well as making pre arrangements if possible. Unfortunately, individuals may save financially. But live with regrets of their decisions. It’s a one time situation and needs to correct.

"removal vehicle" goes hard 🔥

My uncle passed away last week. He is having a direct cremation. His sons will scatter his ashes.

Or....a disgruntled funeral directors opinion of a service pinching their clients and lucrative income. People aren't thick they know what they can get from both and if they cut out the middle man deal with it.

Does that have sirens?

My mother wants a direct cremation, and I respect her wishes, but there will be no closure for those she leaves behind. We need to plan for this - visit a special place together and mark her passing.

I would love to hear your take on natural burials and other uncommon options for death❤

On the way to the cemetary with my brother in law the hearse broke down. Myself along with several other drag racers got busy checking it out but to find the the fuel pump had gone out. The funeral director said he could have another hearse there in 30 minutes. His brothers said to hell with that, they threw him in a Surburban, spread the flowers out in some cars and off we went. Lol.

Quick question my friend. What type of adhesive is required for reattaching severed n1pples, in the event a husband would prefer a nude viewing? We live in an absurdly liberal world right now and i get many requests i haven't gotten previously. Any ideas?

This is the trouble with funeral business they've had it too good for so long. I have a plan with Pure Cremation no fuss no bother and that suits me just fine.

The last thing families need to worry about is how detailed the hearse is , smh

I think there are probably lots of people going home to visit their families that hope that they do need you for a racist uncle or judgy grandma.

Thank you for explaining your job title your job is just important as the person who pass away or the people who clean the person and prepare the love ones thank you

Ford Fusion Wagon; never seen one before!

:( RIP my grand father he just passed away and I miss him😢

Ai is getting too far it seems

My brothers ashes are on the Mantle. He loved being with family and he's been up there for 2 years now.... Miss him like crazy...

Use as marijuana fertilizer.

My local funeral home has a cool tradition. They’ll let YOU or a family member drive the hearse to the cemetery 😬

Funerals are for the living who are in a competition of "who is in the most pain"... Dead people don't give a shit what you think about them, idiots!

Respect! Where does one obtain that wringer for the chamois?

Could you do a video on what the arrangement process looks like and what’s involved in arranging the funeral? Thanks, Luke

I'm not cryingYou're crying

Very well done . What a respectable young man. Godspeed

Always good to put the "fun" in funeral

When my mother died, I organised her funeral. I have 2 older brothers, but I wanted to to do this for her. I went to a family run funeral directors in Walsall. This was the next day after she died. On a cold Saturday morning, 2 days before Christmas day, I was standing outside a closed funeral directors l rang the weekend number. Within an hour Harper senior came over from Wolverhampton to my mother's house to see me, and helped me fill out the forms. Because he ran the other funeral dirctors in Wolverhampton, his son Dean would be contacting me the following Monday. Their kindness and generosity of their time and care towards me, made every step of this most difficult of times, a warm and easy journey for me, for my family and especially for my mother. It takes a very special kind of human being to do this job, as I said to Dean, if there was every the right man, in the right job, it's you. He obviously took after his father. I would like to thank The Harper Funeral Directors in Walsall, for the wonderful funeral they gave my mother. January 2001

So overlooked...thank you for sharing and thank you for what you do
