If any one is interested, we bury our own in my family on our ancestral land. We use a plain wooden casket and dig the grave ourselves. If a backhoe from a friend is available it's a bonus.

I support the right to self bury, as most states have done for centuries.

There's a weird idea that government needs to get involved in this and protect funeral home gouging.

In any case total burial, funeral and wake cost can be around $800, if you want.
