    Funeral insurances are pretty common where I’m from. This is not normal in the US?

      Most people have life insurance to pay for their funeral costs, it’s just that a subscription plan for a casket very much isn’t that.

      Not sure about funeral insurance, but we had a whole presentation from a funeral home at work about how we should pre-pay for our funerals

        It really is a good idea. My wife’s grandma did it in the 80s, so when she died all the family had to do was pick what food they wanted at the wake. Prices only increase, so the earlier you buy the more you save.
