Here are a couple of things I've learned about the industry and the procedure recently:
1. The county cemetery is "The pauper's grave" that we've heard so much about over the yrs. John Doe's, aborted babies, amputated limbs, and people who can't afford a burial service are interned there.
2. There is no graveside service at the county facility.
3. You can rent a coffin for the service, complete with plastic flowers, etc. When the service is done, the funeral home will take the deceased back to the home, remove him from the coffin, put him in a wooden box and bury the body at the county facility.
I know these are things that are not nice to talk about, but these are some of the things that are eventualities for everyone. Some people prefer this kind of service to save money. Y'all know how much a funeral can cost!
REFRESHING: A superstitious person would think that person would have to carry those negatives with them into eternity.
