Unless you supported my videos in late November/early December, you should have received your personalized card and your totes bags. PLEASE let me know if you didn't. Thank you so much for everything, deathlings!

I know this is a super old video (hiiiiii, new patrons still watch the OG ones, hope you didn't say anything cringey!), but just in case you see this, I had a question I expect no other corner of the internet could possibly answer. When my husband was cremated, his ashes were buried in his hometown on the other side of the country, but I asked the funeral home to put some aside in a smaller box (about 2"x3"x7") for me to keep because I knew it would have really bothered his ice queen of a mother if she knew. The funeral director knew the intent for each "portion" (minus my feelings for my mother-in-law), and neither was ever opened. Which part would he have most likely put the tag into?

2014-12-17 02:32:20 +0000 UTCGreat video! You brought up an interesting point about regulations. I attended (and helped organize) some Mass Fatality classes when I worked with a state Emergency Management office several years ago. The course was taught by volunteers with the "D-Mort" team from FEMA Region VI, all of whom are either in the funeral industry or work as coroners. They invited the head of the state funeral director's association. Someone in the class was surprised to find out that people are not buried "six feet under." That association director explained how every state has wildly different regulations when it comes to burials, and that some have no requirements as far as depth, that you might be lucky in some cemeteries to have someone buried six inches down. Is that true, and is there an accepted reasonable depth for burials of caskets? Would that be different for natural burials, like you have talked about in some videos? Thanks!
