How much is the cost to buy a single burial lot in a cemetery nowadays? Did you know you have to pay to reserve a cemetery lot in advance? Either pay in full or with a monthly installment for such reservation not just for the lot, you have to pay in advance for the funeral arrangements, including the cost for a coffin or ash urn after the cremation, the memorial service. You have to prepay for the transportation by the mortuary company...and so on. There's no way if these complicated and expensive arrangements not to be done in advance, but instead that you could do it right after your beloved one passed away suddenly, or you could have them done immediately.
I've learned all of these painful experiences and its huge expense from my parents death, and they died in different ages and years.
But what we saw in this movie and almost all of the other movies that involved funerals and burials, it just seemed so easy to be arranged.
In this movie, the husband is just a roofer, I really don't think that he could afford to pay for all of these expenses, albeit in advance. When his daughter falls ill, his credit card already over the allowed limit. It just looks so unreal and unrealistic in my opinion. What I have seen in this movie were just so conveniently and readily done for the movie itself that inevitably gave me a quite distant and disconnected feeling.
