Bring out your dead.
Now they'll have to go directly to a numbered potter's field option.
Forgive me my heartlessness, but I thought the potter's field for indigent deceased was the standard practice everywhere. A paid-up funeral for indigents courtesy of the IL taxpayer sounds like an outrageous luxury to my shriveled conservative heart. It really sounds like a racket to me, especially considering that the vast majority of such "funerals" likely have no mourners attending.
I can't help but thinking it a great option if non-indigent folks could get that deal if they paid for it, however.
Dump the body on the steps of the state capital.
I suppose a handful of friends or neighbors would go to such a funeral, but granted this could be done more economically. My own family and friends might care, but as far as I’m concerned slip me vertically into a cylindrical hole with a concrete marker atop if you don’t want to waste the gas on reducing me to ashes first. And have the funeral at the marker, under an umbrella, if no relation or friend wants to spring for more and no church wants to do it at a remove (hey, they could show a cell phone picture of me in life there). Other questions arise — how do they know what faith of clergy to get? Do they get static from the ACLU if, say, the deceased was notably Christian and the preacher likewise?
Maybe I’m being a bit silly, but as a Christian I can laugh at my death. It was Satan’s sick joke on humanity, but to me and all who trust in Jesus Christ for their eternal salvation it is only the gateway out of a prison and into a new reality unspoiled by sin.
What’s the problem? They can still vote......right?
Think of the geometric progression of the problem when 0bamaCare kicks in!
