$700 / 30 = $23.33 a day to sleep in a wood box... brilliant!
And when your are done, you get to sleep in one for free.
lol someone has never bought a coffin and it shows.
Just throw me in the trash
Yes, you are right. But no way in hell am I going to pay for my own coffin.
That's what you think.
You can't take that money with ya!
I won't leave any, ha.
What happens to bodies that can't pay burial or cremation costs? Do they just get thrown into a compost bin?
In most cases, local governments use direct cremation to dispose of unclaimed bodies and the cremains are stored for a set period of time. After being stored the cremains may be scattered. The Cremation Society of North America has estimated that there are currently 2 million unclaimed cremated remains in the U.S.
Some counties elect to bury unclaimed bodies. Typically, the body is buried in an unmarked grave that is county-owned. If a family member later comes forward the body may be exhumed upon request.
Other states allow for unclaimed bodies to be donated for medical science. There are also state laws that allow for the unclaimed bodies of veterans to be buried by third party groups.

This is for unclaimed bodies, if your body is claimed by your family then the cost is taken out of your estate or your family have to pay for it.
Sure, but I ain't buying my own coffin, I barely have retirement money, if they cant get a coffin, ill just be in 13 shoeboxes.
Dying isn’t free either
You wish it was free, not on your life bud.
One of the other articles linked has a photo of the common room.
This is a dormitory style shared living space with living area and bathrooms / shower. The “boxes” are bunks for sleeping and actually roomy and private compared to every other dorm bunk I’ve ever seen.
