Funerals
According to some sources, the cost of a funeral is one of the three or four most expensive consumer purchases. Funerals can cost upwards of $12000.
They definitely don’t have to be so expensive, and there’s no reason (other than stubborn sentimentalism) to believe that paying so much for a funeral is somehow a sign of love for the departed.
Thinking ahead about your funeral is not something very many people do, and even less think about how they are going to pay for it.
