    There was a panic here in Vancouver (known for it’s out of control real estate market) this year and burial plots were going for like $90,000 IIRC.

    Don’t be too poor to die.

        just over the border, more or less (geography isn’t neccecarily my subject) , in Washing. State, you know the one, yiu can get ylarrange for your future corpse to undergo a relatively new and novel disposition option known as ‘natural organoc reduction’, for the comparatively low low price of only… around 6 to 10 k, alst o checked., includong shrouds, body storage, tests ect.

        That’s significantly cheaper than the avarage conventional funeral cknsts, not Jay on van iver, but in the bordering region too., and there’s no ongoing upkeep costsas, there might be with a plot. after aroind six weeks, its basically done, if you wnat it that way.

        And, perhaos as or more importantly the novelty can be an important aspect for some people. A burial method that very ffew others, so far, ahve hmade use of (although very much tested, and regulated, and found genuine) , as can the positiveenvironmental aspects be appealing too to aome.

        aTdlr: nyway see www.recompose.life for more details of, one of, the options that could help to circumvent any need to pay any, highly overinflated and likely extortionate, rates for a funeral plot. No buing real death estate required.
