Quotes:
''Burying the body of a family member on one's own,usually rural, property."
''Your local woodeworer/cabinetmaker may be willing to make a basic coffin for you."
"No law prevents you from burying the cremated remains of your loved ones on your private property, rural or urban."
Analysis:
These two chapeters left methinking about two things. one being, "what are some of the more negative things when getting a basic casket?" And the other being, "Has there ever bein any unjust events occuring where the govt. Will not allow you to bury someone on your private property? In addition to the second part of the book. I found it interesting how a basic casket cost way less than a regular casket. I also found interesting how backyard burials mainly happen in rural areas.
