EXPENSIVE BURIALS A BRUK POOR PEOPLE IN JAMAICA : BIG STONE STRAIGHT TALK !!!

Rest in peace. 100 years ago persons were buried in a simple wooden box and this was widely accepted by the populace. Today there is no reason why we cannot do the same especially when one considers that there are many unscrupulous funeral homes or persons who will dig up and switch your coffin. Another point to consider is cremating the body which is significantly cheaper than providing a coffin. The added advantage to this method is that you can also reduce the size of the plot that you need to bury the ashes. If you prefer you could alternatively scatter the ashes of the person perhaps somewhere that has a lot of memories of them.
A further point to consider is to buy life insurance which will cover the cost of paying for the funeral and which also can provide resources needed to provide for the future of the remaining family members. It is always better to have some assistance than to have to find all of the resources on your own.
Many of the things that we do for funerals are based on our traditions or on the belief that one has to demonstrate how much the person who died was loved. My belief is that one should not wait until a person has died to show how much they were appreciated. If we were to demonstrate our love for a person while they are still living then that will be more meaningful than to “scatter roses after they are gone”.

Death is really commercialized now. What I really despise alot is how they're just taking pictures of the dead. The body is sacred. They act as if they're filming a movie. Lord have mercy on us 😢

I believe black people funerals are to over the top...The service far too long long long. Sometimes, it feels like I am at a concert or a dance. I see this in England and the Carribean. And so dam expensive. The families must wear a certain style and colour outfit.. Cooking for over 300 to thousands of people.. Laard, this won't be my funeral... I speak to my children about this all the time...
