I asked the old "rebel" down the road how to go about buying a couple plots at the cemetery just up the road. He said you can give me a check just whenever you want but it's pretty expensive, $350 for 6 plots!

The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.

How bout hauling cadavers into an open sea and dropping them there for a fee? It should be cheaper than cremation.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')here's no reason it needs to be some outrageously expensive process.
True, but there is some reason for the process to be regulated a bit. In northwest Georgia a few years ago, a fellow, Ray Brent Marsh, owner of a crematorium, decided that all of the expense, effort and energy used in the cremation process was a waste, and decided to just chuck the bodies out in the back of his big place out in the country, rather than cremate them like he was supposed to. Eventually the whole thing came to light and there were several hundred of them dug up and some never were identified,
It is quite true that this fellow was supposedly part of the system, and once he eventually gets out from behind bars, I suppose he will have to deal with the numerous relatives that are still around up there....
But, for the common good, it makes sense to me to have some standards and/or regulation on this, to discourage the fly by nighters and true con artists from causing a public spectacle.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'B')ut, for the common good, it makes sense to me to have some standards and/or regulation on this, to discourage the fly by nighters and true con artists from causing a public spectacle.
I don't have so much of a problem with regulating people who make a business of disposing of the dead. Most of the regulations are designed to prevent or intimidate families from doing it themselves without involving undertakers. I don't really think the family is likely to just chuck uncle cecil out behind the shed. In Washington state you can't bury a body without using a licensed grave yard (unless you own your own island oddly enough). Most licensed graveyards require that you use a funeral home, buy a concrete vault, etc. I'm fine with logical health based regulation: bury them at least 5 feet down, don't bury them within 100 feet of a wetland or moving stream, etc. If you start requiring the involvement of the death industry, you make death into another obscene, wasteful consumer spectacle.

That does look like a cool place pops.
