    I'd hope they work but I've seen too many "former" nazis get criticized for still holding some terrible views then immediately throw a tantrum and run back to the far-right because they don't actually want to take accountability they want to get coddled by the same minorities they hurt and be told how clever and brave they are for no longer being bigots.

    The funeral industry itself, insurance aside is SO predatory and will try to guilt grieving people into paying more. It's a total rip, please talk to your loved ones about death and how they would want to be remembered so some dipshit funeral director can't con you into an extravagant affair by claiming it's what your loved ones would have wanted.
