      To be fair cremation probably can cost the same or more depending on the additional cost. It’s stupid why death cost so much financially. Families already facing the emotional cost of losing their love ones.

          How many people did you cremate? And at what point does it become cost effective to invest in a small kitchen cremator?

            If you are an aspiring serial killer planning on serial killing then I’d say at victim #3 you should really invest in a small kitchen cremator to ignite your serial killing career

            At a certain point in life you’ll usually have 6 family members who have died, and if you live even longer you’ll start having friends die.

        That’s right, cryo is both cheap, viable, and resource light! Just smack some solar panels on that badboy and you won’t even have to think about rising electricity prices.

        Fuck, I wish I was cryofrozen right now.

      I also find it more sentimental, personally. Idk about other people but my grandparents kept their parents’ urns at home in a small altar with pictures of them and it always felt a lot less depressing compared to my other grandparents that visited their parents’ graves at a cemetery. It made their death more broachable as a subject, so to speak, since they were always in the house and part of every moment, whereas cemetery visits were always so solemn and distant from everyday life.
