Not everyone thinks about this,or even cares..But some dont want to leave on a negative note and leave others on the hook for their exit,especially when the ones that would step up to pay can hardly take care of themselves.

Useful info and also something to make one stop and think.

Thanks for posting.

When I read the post I remember of the TV serie...six feet under.

If anyone that has died and he or she has not money and insurance neither.

How is he or she buried or cremated?. US Federal Goverment pay it?.
And How many money roughly costs that in USA? A thousand, maybe.
