This story was one of the "recommended" reads today on MSNBC.com. When you consider that a funeral in the US today can start around $6,500 - and that's before the cost of a cemetery plot - this makes sense. The whole idea of a home funeral does sound a little weird, but this is how most - if not - individuals were buried until the mid-twentieth century.
Personally, I'm of the school that "if it still works, give it to somebody that needs it and cremate the rest". Hopefully, my family will honor those wishes.
