I don't see your point, as the cost wasn't the original issue, irreverence was. We can't escape death and taxes, but you can at least have some respect the the dead. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I never did think that death was a matter to joke about.

And just for a little added info. If you find the cost of a funeral is too much to suit you, then get cremated. That is my intention for myself, as I have no desire to spend all of eternity in a hole in the ground.
