Scriptural and Religious Statements on Modes of Disposition What is the "Alternative Container"? What is the "Temporary Container"? After cremation mortuaries release your loved ones cremated remains in a plastic or cardboard box. It may even be stamped with the giant words "Temporary Container". You don't have to buy the permanent "respectable" urns they sell. Choose a special container from your home, make your own, or buy one online. For a meaningful experience later, you can gather loved ones to transfer the cremated remains yourselves. Do I have to hire a funeral home to Host a Final Goodbye? You don't have to hire a funeral home to hold "a funeral" BEFORE a cremation, or "a memorial" AFTER a cremation. If one of you knows how to conduct a meeting and you have a vehicle to transport decor or plants then you don't need to hire out. A Basic Cremation Casket aka "Alternative Container" around $150 Example of a "Deluxe" Cremation Casket $600 What to Do with CREMATED REMAINS: EIGHT OPTIONS Burial Most cemeteries require that an urn surround cremated remains, as well as an outer burial container made of fiberglass or concrete. A cemetery may require you to buy that from them, or have strict rules about what type of vault you can use. They will also charge a $300 or more opening and closing fee for the burial (inurnment), and you will likely have to purchase a grave marker. On the bright side, 2 to 6 persons' ashes may be buried in each plot in most cemeteries. Entombment (inurnment) The cremated remains in their container are placed in a niche or crypt. Cemeteries may have requirements for the type of remains container they'll accept, especially if the crypt spaces are glass fronted. An outer burial container is not required. Burial in a place other than a cemetery Some people want to bury ashes on private property (with permission of owner). It is unlawful to bury them on public property but you may scatter (check if a permit is needed). Regardless of your spiritual or faith tradition, if you like the idea of earth burial but dislike the additional commercial cemetery costs, and if a grave marker is not important to you, your options for earth burial are limited only by your imagination - and the law, of course. Burying ashes in a biodegradable urn tree-planting system There are at least four variations of this gizmo on the market. The come-on is, “After you die, you will become a tree.” The science is far from clear whether the imbalance of nutrients and minerals in ashes actually contributes much of anything to the growth of a tree. And ashes do not decompose. That said, when the house is sold in 30 years, will family want to move the tree to a new house? What if after transplanting, the tree dies? And when that house is sold in 10 years, will the tree be moved again? If you decide to leave the tree, will someone tell the new owners someone’s ashes are buried in the yard? The law doesn’t require it, but does courtesy? For some, there’s an emotional appeal to believing you have Grandma, in the form of a tree, in the back yard. Emotional appeals generally have a short shelf life. What happens to ashes is a decision for the long term. Scattering/dispersal Cremated remains (bones the size and texture of sand) can be scattered on uninhabited public land, or private property with owners permission. As to pouring ashes directly into bodies of water: Don't. (exception: the ocean). The ph of cremated remains is extremely alkaline (about 11.5, the same level as bleach) and the sodium content equals about 1.5 cups of salt, which can kill leaves of plants first and then the roots. Recommendation: Amend cremated remains to reduce harm to plant life: https://www.after.com/articles/how-to-neutralize-cremation-ashes Scattering guidance from the Bureau of Land Management: https://www.blm.gov/sites/blm.gov/files/uploads/IM2011-159_att1.pdf An excellent short article from FCA's Maryland affiliate. Note: even a light breeze can affect whether ashes go where you want them to or back in your face or on your clothes. Ossuary For those who want cremated remains to be interred in a cemetery, but find the cost of either burial or inurnment (see above) prohibitive, there's another option. An ossuary allows cremated remains to be entombed communally for free. Even some very expensive cemeteries offer this option (such as Wasatch Lawn on highland Dr in SLC) and it's available to the public with no exclusions. Cremated remains (ashes) are poured into a below-ground chamber where they are co-mingled with the ashes of others. Larkin Cemetery had a special day for this in 2022 https://www.fox13now.com/the-place/statistics-show-1-in-5-households-have-the-cremated-remains-or-ashes-of-a-loved-one-at-home Some cemeteries define “ossuary” differently. At one cemetery urns are placed adjacent to each other on shelves hidden behind a paneled wall. Name and dates may (or may not be) inscribed nearby. Home keeping Sometimes people keep the ashes of a loved one at home because they can't make up their mind what to do with them. Others decide to enshrine them in some fashion, such as placing them on a mantel. Or they simply aren't ready to release the last material remains of their loved one. Whatever the reason or duration, you need a final final destination plan. (see below.) Long Term Solutions for Remains "kept at home" Does Mom want the kids to take turns caring for Dad's ashes after she's gone? After she dies, does she want her ashes mixed with Dad’s, and then divided equally among the kids? There's still the need for a final plan. Our culture doesn't have a tradition of passing bodily remains down the generations. And home-keeping cremated remains is only a temporary thing, even if "temporary" is several years or even decades. It's important to make a plan for the final final destination of your ashes. Turning ashes into a keepsake You can have your loved one’s ashes turned into several different memorial keepsakes: pottery, dinnerware, jewelry, diamonds and stones https://www.thelivingurn.com/collections/cremation-stones . If you go the jewelry route, you’ll have a lot of leftover ashes. There’s an emotional appeal to wearing a pendant or diamond ring, or eating off dinner plates, made out of Mom’s ashes. And if a plate is broken? “Oops. Sorry Mom.” Will that ring or pendant end up in a second-hand store in fifty years? You need a final final destination plan for such memorial keepsakes. How Do Families Sell Cemetery Plots They No Longer Need? Here is one family's success story selling their plots using Facebook Marketplace. Here, another family describes what they found when trying to sell or donate theirs: https://mdfunerals.org/2019/02/06/disposing-of-unneeded-cemetery-plots/#more-884 Shipping & Traveling with Cremated Remains Mailing cremated remains The United States Postal Service (USPS) is the only shipper that allows the shipment of cremated remains. There are specific requirements for preparing, packaging, and shipping human (or animal) cremated remains. You must use Priority Mail Express, and clearly identify the contents. USPS even has a special Cremated Remains label (Label 139) available at your post office. An illustrated US Postal Service brochure, How to Package and Ship Cremated Remains , explains it all for you, including information on how to ship to an address outside the United States. Flying with cremated remains The Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) has special rules for transporting cremated remains in checked bags and as a carry-on item: Some airlines do not allow cremated remains in checked bags, so please check with your airline to learn more about possible restrictions. To facilitate screening, we suggest that you purchase a temporary or permanent crematory container made of a lighter weight material, such as wood or plastic. If the container is made of a material that generates an opaque image, TSA officers will not be able to clearly determine what is inside the container and the container will not be allowed. Out of respect for the deceased, TSA officers will not open a container, even if requested by the passenger. Airline cremated remains policies differ from carrier to carrier. Delta’s Cremated Remains policy is under “Fragile, Bulky & Other Items.” United’s Cremated Human Remains policy is under “High value, fragile & perishable items.” Look up the latest rule with your airline or TSA before attempting to fly with cremated remains. I saw an elderly widow protest as her box of cremated remains was opened in front of everyone in security. It was sad. Thanks to Funeral Resources MN for much of the content of this section

Even though you have a dead body on your hands, you have time to apply these shopping keys to no-regret purchases. How to Shop for a Funeral FIRST slow down... When hospital, or police, ask you to "Call a funeral home NOW", don't let that make you rush. -If you don't want to hire professionals: start with our What To Do When Death Occurs Flow Chart -If you do want to hire a funeral home: DON'T tell it where the body is yet (Hospital releases a body to an unauthorized funeral home) DON'T go to a funeral home in person, nor sign for embalming yet * if a funeral home tries to charge you for their sales pitch then report them . In 2025 we've been seeing charges of, between $250 - $950 on General Price lists (GPL's), for a funeral home to "engage" with you, or "arrange" a funeral. T hey already charge EVERY customer a non-declineable fee to cover that risk. So, for now our recommendation is that potential customers refrain from going in-person "to establish a relationship" (as Funeral Directors like to say)...until you have decided to hire them for sure. SECOND price compare With our free at-a-glance chart which lists every Utah mortuary’s package prices you can make more informed decisions in minutes. Look at the prices before you decide if "the mortuary Aunt Betty went to" or "the mortuary closest to home", is more important to you than price. If death occurred OUTSIDE of Utah see if there is a Funeral Consumers Alliance [find-an-affiliate] hosting an at-a-glance price survey. If they don't then you can try Funeralocity.com to get a general idea of which mortuaries are charging more and which charge less. Or type into a Search Engine something like: "discount cremation/funeral provider near _[city, state] _" to find candidates. Expensive Funeral Homes typically: -owned by a corporation with shareholders pressing for profits on their investment. -insist you sit down with them at their location for an "arrangement conference": their chance to "build a relationship", make you feel like you're getting a good deal, as well as plan your event & the preparation of your loved one. -insult your requests to do part yourself or to bring your own casket etc. Cheaper Funeral Homes typically: -locally owned, by a family -more flexible, -let you buy online, -don't use threatening or demeaning language when you want to do part of the services yourself, and -are friendly to you bringing outside merchandise. THIRD examine selections & totals in private After you have selected all the goods and services you need: the funeral home must present you with an "itemized Statement of Goods & Services Selected" [see a sample ]. Once you've examined that statement (in a place you can discuss privately with those helping you decide/helping you pay), it's your last chance to tell the mortuary to remove anything you don't really want to pay for. FOURTH consider reducing the cost Cemeteries and funeral homes require you pay before they conduct the burial, cremation or a funeral service. Utah's Most Affordable GRAND TOTAL to hire-out a whole body burial $3800 Cemetery Plot: Eagle Mountain non-resident price $1000 with o/c $300 Graveliner: ~$1000 Mortuary's Graveside Package: $1300 Casket: $200 mortuary's box (add $300 -1K more for a locally built casket) Family-Directed Memorial : free at home or a church If you can't afford to pay from savings or insurance we plead with you to choose more affordable options. Meaningful & Affordable 1. Perform final disposition BEFORE any remembrance service. The two lowest cost final dispositions: "Immediate Burial": the body is buried on mortuaries' own timing without embalming or viewing: Add Cemetery Cost ~$3K &up "Direct Cremation": the body is cremated on mortuaries' own timing without embalming or viewing. Cremation decisions 2. CASKETS: A mortuary might use poor lighting, condescending names, yucky colors, dull finishes (called "vulgarizing") for displaying their more affordable caskets and urns. So go to our carrying a body page to find lovely selections at half the price. 3. Alternative Venues: If you have people in your group that know how to conduct a meeting, move decor and carry a casket you don't need a professional to conduct services. Instead of holding remembrance services at a mortuary, consider locations like a church, home, park, community center, or virtual meeting (for better sound than zoom: https://willowise.com/ 4. Alternative Sources for Decor: Flowers can be from a store or a garden, fresh or artificial (see homemade arrangements -bottom of DIY page ). You could even invite attendees to bring potted plants instead of cut flowers. Or decorate the venue with portraits, handicrafts or art made by the deceased. A favorite quilt over the casket can be as touching as a floral spray. 5. Print Your Own Programs: Instead of having a funeral home print programs, design and print them yourself or seek assistance from a friend or family member. Many want to do something meaningful to express their love. This is one of many ways to let them. 6. Purchase Items Separately: Most mortuaries bundle their goods & services for charging a discounted package price. But you can purchase items and services separately. It's called Itemizing, which often ends up costing less than a package of things you can do yourselves. 9. Make Love-based decisions Instead of Fear-based: Take the time to discuss your options with those who are supportive of you AND who know your rights. When people say, "You can't...", then either search this site or contact FCA of UT and we'll advise any time of the day or evening: Joyce 801-368 5884. The Federal Trade Commission also has advice for funeral shoppers to help encourage you to advocate for yourself: https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/shopping-funeral-services 10. Burial Plots : Many consumer complaints we get are about cemeteries ! If you have prepurchased plots, cemeteries raise prices for opening and closing and all the accouterments, without telling you. They also make you sign away basic rights, and are extremely restrictive about monuments and plaques. Yet they often don't publish those restrictions. So before buying a bunch of plots ask for a copy of their policies and procedures which include: -what is allowed if you later decide to resell your plot(s) -how the future fees will climb for interment/opening closing, vaults and monuments (if you don't prepay, or if family become non-residents) -restrictions as to shroud burial or grave liners (cheaper vaults) -memorial stone requirements (materials, size, sheen, where purchased, setting fees, inspection fees, space for adding names). Monuments: Some families wait years for a pre-paid monument to be delivered, until the funeral home stops picking up the ph one. Before a body is picked up, ask the pick-up service to hand you a GPL (if you don't already have a printed copy) and they should NOT assume you want embalming nor pressure you to authorize embalming right then. Consumer Alerts 2024 National Scam Alert Funeral Homes adding fees for first call pick up in the night, or from a nursing home or to send a second personnel.... The price on the GPL for the transfer of remains already includes “personnel, equipment and vehicle”. The FTC Funeral Rule does NOT allow for a sliding scale of costs for "first call pickup" based on the number of personnel sent or the time or the place of death. The State of NY sent this: cease and disist order . 2023 National Scam Alert Pretenders contact you asking for more money AFTER you have made arrangements with a funeral home but BEFORE the funeral service. They are NOT from the Funeral Home: https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/blog/2023/06/scammers-impersonate-funeral-home-staff-prey-mourning-families-can-it-get-any-lower

Funeral activism and humor intersect in these profound story-telling songs that strike at the heart of American funeral fulture and why we do what we do. Tunes by Joe Hill, T-Bone Slim, Black-eyed Peas, Woodie Guthrie, and George F. Root. 6 Familiar Tunes with Original Lyrics by Joyce Mitchell Links are to the printable Google Docs version Don’t Be Cheap Tune: "March March March" & “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp the Boys are Marching” by George F. Root (1820-1895). Also, the hymns “In Our Lovely Deseret” and “Jesus Loves the Little Children” use the same tune. This 1 min. story heralds the good news of funeral liberty. So my loved one passed away and left me to find a way to plan a Fun’ral and a final disposition. Everyone said “Don't you worry, BUT [pause] there is a great big hurry. We wouldn't want a smelly body round.” CHORUS: So they pressed: Buy! Buy! Buy, a keep on Buying! There's nothing better you can do. Will your loved one feel your love, in the heavens up above, if your cheap about the funeral that I do?! That day I met the man who'd my best interest in his hand’. He showed me all the papers I must sign. He told me not to cremate [pause], for a symbol of hell that would make [pause], But embalming nearly brings them back alive! CHORUS: Buy! Buy! Buy, a keep on Buying! There's nothing better you can do. Will your neighbor know you love, your loved one up above, if you’re cheap about the funeral that you do? Well, it all turned out ok cause I called my FCA [pause, “That's the Funeral Consumers Alliance. It’s a non profit”] They told me all that they knew I could do Got the pine box he'd always wanTED [pause] No embalming, so he, looked Dead [Pause], And I got it all without being rude! Final CHORUS Make plans now. It is surprising what your love can really do. Remember it’s about the living, and you’re showing love by giving, A fun’ral that is meaningful to you. A fun-er-al that’s meaningful to you. You Can! Tune: Sweet Bye and Bye, as well as the tune: Preacher and the Slave by Joe Hill Morticians, they had oversight Tried to tell us what's wrong and what's right; But when asked, 'How bout something for me?' They did answer with voices so sweet: CHORUS You will stand__ here not there___ You will move to the chapel on cue Sit and pray__, but first pay___, You chip in, that’s all you need do. "The mortician is skilled don’t you think?” But I sense I do smell a slight stink. I know the embalming's the pest! to get us to buy all the rest. All the Le___gislators they fight, And they talk and they clap and they write, Til they get a restriction on you, And your bloods on the way to the loo. But, one des___ignated would fight, They’re assigned to do what you like, You make them an agent for you, And no family feuds will ensue. Did you know you can care for your dead, Make a plain pine box instead, Keep the contents cold using ice, And the meeting you hold will be nice CHORUS You can stand___ here or there____ Your pro__gram reminds you what to do You’re not confused___ or abused____ In expressing your final adieu___ So I’ve brought the truth for you There’s only a few supposed to’s Plan ahead, write it down, make it known, And your family will not need a loan. CHORUS You can stand___ here or there____ You’ll know what you really want to do. It’s ok___ to have your way____ In expressing your final adieu___ Rebel Girl Original tune and lyrics were written by the activist songwriter Joe Hill. This song was written the week before he was shot by a firing squad. He wrote it about Elizabeth Gurley Flynn. I started singing Rebel Girl about myself in my own funeral reform activism, rebelling against what my culture dictated a funeral has to be. Then I realized the real “Original Rebel Girl” of my generations’ Home Funeral movement is truly Lisa Carlson. So this song identifies her as my inspiration. They Go Wild, Simply Wild Over Me Lyrics written about real experiences of Utah consumer advocate Joyce Mitchell (Original tune by T-Bone Slim, 1920 sing his original lyrics at https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/t-bone-slim/the-popular-wobbly-chords-3875021 ) Hard Travelin’ Funeral Director Tune: by Woodie Guthrie My other songs, they picked on Funeral Directors, but this song acknowledges their suffering. It’s about one hard travelin funeral director, writin home to someone who cares. Where Is The love Tune by The Black Eyed Peas What's wrong with the world, mama People livin' like they ain't got no mamas The whole country, is addicted to the drama of Buyin expensive funer’ls that'll bring‘em trauma When embalmin s’posed to be for preservation It just “ups” the cost of presentation A one-time display, just to make us say “Hey they look okay.” But there’s another way! Like if you want to show love for your own dead Dry ice is way better to use instead Cuz to hire out really separates But when you take charge, you get to participate![ breathe] Products are not what WE demonstrate. That’s how The Funeral-Biz works & operates. Ya know, you gotta have love just to set it straight Take control of your dead and meditate. Let your soul gravitate (to the love ya’ll) F C People mournin', people dyin' Dm Families hurt, you hear em cryin' Bb Can you practice what you preach F Do a fun-er-al that’s cheap C Father, Father, Father help us. Dm Send us guidance from above. Bb F 'Cause people wanna have an experience, expressing their love C Where is the love (The love) Dm Where is the love Bb Where is the love, The love, the love I know it ain't the same, as the old days Licensed Providers make the world insane So if love and peace is so strong Why is money changin where it don't belong. Chemical mixes pumped into loved ones Limousines addin’ burdens in the long run. So I asked myself where’s the pressure really from? and I asked myself really what is goin' on In this world that we’re livin' in people keep on givin' in Makin' fast decisions, to escape humiliation. Fake helpin' each other- denying thy brother- Here’s what’s goin' on, And the reason I won’t hide; Professional display, serves to feed into pride. BUT when I care for my dead, then I feel good inside. There’s the love, y'all,(Now I know) Hear the truth, y'all,(Now I know) Share the love. [pause] F C People mournin', people dyin' Dm Families hurt, you hear em cryin' Bb Can you practice what you preach F Do a fun-er-al that’s cheap C Father, Father, Father help us Dm Send us guidance from above Bb F ‘Cause people wanna have an experience, expressing their love C Expressing their love (Their love) Dm Expressing their love (Their love) Bb F Expressing their love, their love,..🡪 I understand You feel the weight of a body on your “shoulder”.
