Corpses are scary enough, but studying them is even scarier, but it’s a profession.

I noticed once us/my BABY BOOMER generation got here; “death” became 1 of USA’S largest (for profit industries) like mass incarceration. Regardless of ALL my ancestors having headstones with their ex skeletons in the dirt; even cremation is unaffordable now. Free to us (Government Disposal) is the only way we can do it now. ALL of us “Unclaimed Remains” still alive have absolutely exploded which is normal trajectory with the disappearance of our real USA 1960s back to 1776. Nationwide we’re all the same now unlike our ancestors in this aspect: WE know we’re Unclaimed Remains decade’s ahead of our death. Their is no choice post 1960s. Dead Body Disposable isn’t affordable like housing etc etc. The generation b4 us baby boomers were first to start with the cremations like my mom & her sister DUE TO UNAFFORDABILITY OF BURIALS. Unclaimed Remains are booming unending. No one can claim remains anymore unless their wealthy. No one should claim any family remains anymore. Your just feeding money into a usa industry.

A friend of our family knew an individual who jumped off the Golden gate bridge. He jumped because he was struggling with lots of issues and didn't want his family to find him; and to this day, his body hasn't been found. Many float out to the Pacific Ocean, and never claimed. He did actually have family and three friends that cared about him. Thousands have jumped the GGB in San Francisco. I definitely want to live as long as God gives me breath. sometimes strangers can treat you better than blood family. I don't always feel loved, mostly picked on by an older sibling. I have to believe that tomorrow will be a better day. As for the dead knowing what the living is doing; read Ecclesiastes 9, if you have a bible and believe what it says. Good luck to everyone

I have told my husband and sons not to claim me. I worked all my life and now have many medical issues. I can no longer do my career nor will anyone hire me due to disability, so reality?, no money. Not enough to live on let alone worry about what happens to my body after death. I’m not coming back, so. No one is responsible for me after death. They keep raising cremation rates, how the h**l can low income people afford it? We can’t nor can the family. Nor can the grown children with their own families. That is reality. Plain and simple. Government doesn’t care when we are alive, why should they when we are dead?! Cremation doesn’t have to costs thousands, should be under a thousand and stay there, less than that for poor people. It’s the least that could be done for the dead but it’s not. No respect for the dead in America, none. If there was, costs would be low, especially referencing cremation. They make all these d**n rules to line their pockets on the grief of people. It’s all BS!
