No. You have to buy them on the Internet. They don't have them in the stores.\
Then you have to allow 48 hours for delivery and if it arrives damaged you have a real hassle trying to get another. Meanwhile, you have to postpone whatever funeral activities you have planned.
I'd buy from the funeral home. Avoid the hassle.

I think that American funeral traditions are often overblown, overly complex, and often overly sentimental to the point of silly goofiness. What do you think?
To each their own is the right thing...and even with cremation, you can have a traditional funeral, with embalming, viewing, casket, a wake and a full ceremony...it's whatever the individual wants. And in most states, that individual is the next-of-kin, not the deceased.

This is a very scary but serious reality some of us have thought about at one point during our lifespan, what happens in the funeral home to our body after we die, do they remove our organs, do they inject us something, what happens?
Depending upon how your body is to be disposed of, it may receive little attention or it may be preserved by injection of embalming chemicals, dressed and placed in a casket for viewing by your family and friends.
Any organ removal is done at the hospital by an organ transplant team, sometimes flown in from elsewhere.Only after that is the body released to the funeral home.

Answer to:
Is it common practice for funeral home to embalm any body for which cremation is planned? No viewing was planned and the procedure was done within 24 hours. There answer was "you were not charged". Money was not the issue, only the practice.
In the United States, the next-of-kin must be asked for permission for embalming. The law states you do not have to pay for embalming you do not authorize.
In the case you mention, the cremation was done within 24 hours. Embalming is not needed for preservation for that period of time. In some states, the cremation cannot take place for at least 24 hours after death.

Answer to:
Ok, say a married couple been together for almost all their lives, and the woman's husband dies, and she gets remarried before she dies, who does she get buried with the old husband or the new husband?
It depends upon the wishes of those involved. In many second marriages, where the first spouse of each died, the parties are buried next to their first spouses. The simple reason is that, usually, there is a double headstone bearing the names of both the husband and the wife; so, the survivor, when he or she dies, has a ready-made tombstone bearing his/her name ready and waiting.

Your organs will not be removed without the ok of your next-of-kin. So, tell that person your wishes and he/she will block the organ removal by declining to give permission. What's on your license doesn't matter. Even if you don't have it marked on your license, your next-of-kin will likely still be approached about donating your organs.

To adequately honour the participants, the war itself must be remembered. There should be no time limit for such remembrances.

When do they mow the grass in cemeteries? I have never seen a riding lawnmower doing its thing over the gravesites, and I suppose that's on purpose.
In large cemeteries, mowing is usually continuous, by the time they get through the whole area, it's time to start over. Smaller cemeteries may be mowed once a week or once a month. Sometimes the schedule depends upon whether they have the money to pay for mowing.Many smaller cemeteries are strapped for funds.

It's unlikely your wishes would be carried out if you put it in your will. Most places the will is not acted upon until after the disposition of the body. In most cases you must make prior arrangements with the institution to which you want your body donated. Otherwise, what you want done will not happen.

More bodies can be buried in an acre than you might think. In some countries graves are reused after several years.

My aunt, who is 60 years old, got a speeding ticket for going 5 miles over the limit... the officer yelled at her then gave her another ticket for getting out of her car. I will be going to both court dates with her this week. Any advice?
5 miles over the speed limit IS speeding. She is guilty. Most jurisdictions will allow you to pay a minimum fine ahead of the court date. Do it. if there is still time. The getting-out-of-the-car charge may be dropped if she pays the speeding fine before the court date.
60 years of age is no longer "elderly".

What do you think of the allegations in the documentary "Zeitgeist", that the Lusitania was knowingly sent into dangerous waters, and the Pearl Harbour attacks were provoked, as excuses to enter WW1 and WW2?
I believe that the US government expected that the

Whether there was an active conspiracy to bring about those events is still unsettled, although what happened led to our entry into war on both occasions.
In each instance, the leadership wanted to enter the war, but much of the populace...

Or, if they did smell the odor, they took no action...Maybe they didn't want to get involved. Also, after some time, the odor dissipates, so maybe that is what happened in this case.

You file for divorce where you live. California will recognize your marriage, provided you have a certificate or some other documentation. Without documentation, you have a "common law" marriage, which is not recognized in all states. See a lawyer.

If his GED were legitimate, he'd have a certificate to show for it. Also, the school district involved would have a record of it. It's his problem; why isn't he seeing to its resolution?

What profession can pronounce someone's death in Pennsylvania?
A physician. I don't know about Pennsylvania, but in some jurisdictions a certified hospice nurse can do so.
Even then, a physician must sign the death certificate, stating the cause of death.
Where allowed, a deputy coroner (ambulance personnel are often such)can pronounce a person dead. Still, a physician must sign the death certificate.

Many cremains are buried in a cemetery with a monument or marker marking the spot. Many others are placed in a niche in a columbarium (a mausoleum for urns).
Others scatter the cremains, so a visit to the scattering location would be a focal point for paying respects.

Plenty of people are in debt due to circumstances that aren't "shady" and are trying to get a job in order to pay their debts and repair their credit scores. Doesn't requiring good credit to get a job just perpetuate the problem?
A bad credit report can be a red flag that this person may be tempted to steal from the company to make ends meet. Also, if the person owes more than he/she can pay, creditors may start garnishment proceedings, which most employers hate.
This is a major reason people should avoid overextending themselves financially.

You aren't likely to get the answers you want, even if he has ended the affair. Decide whether you would be better off without him, and act accordingly. Many women have forgiven their wayward husbands if they are contrite and open about the state of things. If he won't talk by now, there's not much hope he ever will.

I fought that for months, and finally told the boss that if the poor guy (who had since returned to work and was ok) was fired, I would leave, too. End of story. The employee worked for years until his retirement. By the way, my state is a "work at will"...

Why not just yell through the door and ask who it is...what they want? Have your weapon in hand should the person attempt to crash through the door. Be sure they have crashed through into the house before you shoot them.
If you shoot through the door or from the upstairs window, you will be in big trouble.

A police officer can go wherever he needs to in order to enforce the law. Most property owners would not object to a police officer working radar from their private property.

Is a salaried employee required to work as many hours as the employer wants without being compensated?
In some cases, the employer can pay "Chinese overtime", which can be a half-time for each hour over 40 in a week, instead of the time-and-a-half paid hourly workers. This can also be figured by dividing the basic salary amount by the total number of hours worked that week; as long as the result equals or exceeds the minimum wage, it is legal.

Any thoughts on the Scout Movement?
I enjoyed my years as a Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Explorer Scout. There were some bad spots, like being fondled by a sicko assistant scoutmaster, but I found most of the guys, both scouts and leaders, to be helpful and enjoyable to be around. We had some great times. I learned a lot about life and about myself through Scouting.

Figure that you might live thirty years after retiring. If "living" costs you "X" number of dollars per year, double that amount and multiply by 30. That's the amount you should have when you retire.
Otherwise, figure on working at least part time and also seriously cutting back on your lifestyle: smaller house, little travel, etc.

I've heard that adult children can not have a parent in their insurance policy. Basically, I would like to have my mom covered by my insurance. Is this universally not allowed, or does it depend on the insurance company?
I assume you're talking about individual or family medical insurance (not your employer's group insurance). Check around for one or more companies that will allow you to do that. Most likely, you will need to take out a separate policy to cover your mother. In any event, it's not going to be inexpensive.

My wife got a 1099-misc for $1500 for a one time event last year. Tax software says we don't need to fill in schedule SE. It is a joint return, and I maxed out on the SS/Med taxes. Since the income is hers, I'm skeptical that she doesn't owe ss/med.
On a joint return, the incomes of both are combined and it's the total that is considered. In my case, my wife, if she were filing separately, would owe no income tax on her Social Security income; however, we file jointly and my business income is enough to trigger income tax on our combined Social Security income. So, since you've already paid the max, she owes no more. I think. :)

Answer to:
What do abortion clinics do with the dead babies?
Abortion clinics are not hospitals. One would hope that they disposed of the abortion product in medical waste, which is eventually incinerated.
At hospitals with whose procedure I am familiar, there is no contract with a crematorium. Instead, the babies, including stillbirths, are accumulated on a tray in the morgue cooler until there are enough to shovel into the hospital incinerator.

How is the embalming process done?
Simply put, modern embalming uses the body's circulatory system to saturate most of the soft tissues of the body with a preservative solution which is injected into one or more arteries, with most of the blood in the system being drained from one or more veins at the same time. Areas not reached by the injected solution are treated separately. Hanging the body up for gravity draining is...

However, the local health department must issue a permit and a funeral director must oversee the transfer.

Why isn't President Ford's casket open so the public can view him. For that matter, no former President had an open casket. Why not?

This is in keeping with official protocol, but the family could override that, if they so chose.

Have you ever heard of a corporation putting a "freeze" on all hiring? My husband has been working as a contract employee for a bg corp.that has been saying for 8 mnths that they're going to hire him and now they say there's a cmpnywide freeze new hires.
Hiring freezes are common in companies of all sizes. Many companies use independent contract workers in order to avoid paying benefits a regular employee might receive. So, using contract workers is less costly than hiring them as "permanent" employees. Count your husband lucky to have the work.

What do you think about the "rapture"? Is there such a thing? The word "rapture" isn't in the bible anywhere that I can find. In 2Thessalonians 1:6-12 it speaks of the retribution, but never rapture.

The only right you have is to continue payments until you have fully paid for the car and receive clear title to it.

Otherwise, get a second job to pay for the car.

What do you mean by "there's no probate"? Most states require probate if a will exists. If there is no will, and there is real estate, the only way you are going to sell that house is through probate. You go to probate court and apply to be appointed administrator of the estate. Then you sell the house and pay off the credit card company. After paying probate fees, and maybe a...

No, but the government does pay up to $ 150 for interment expenses.

During a funeral for a retired veteran I was given the folded flag and the 21 shells and told to put the shells into the flag. What is the meaning behind this?
When I served as member of an honor guard in the fifties, the shell casings were never placed inside the flag nor given to the NOK.
Somehow the practice of placing shell casings, sometimes many more than 3, in the folded flag or in the hands of the NOK came into being with non-active-duty honor guards. However, the casings used are NOT the ones just fired, because those would not only be hot,...

Can we choose to not be buried in a cemetery or be cremated but be burried in our backyard or on any other property we own?
The burial of a body establishes a cemetery, so the location must be approved by the local authorities, usually the zoning board in the US. Some states may have statutes governing burials in places other than established cemeteries.
In most cases, the burial, even on your own property, cannot take place within a municipality and must not contitute a nuisance.

Urns are usually buried in a cemetery. However, most states consider the cremation to be the final disposition of the body and place no restrictions on where the urn can be buried.
Of course, one must be sensible and considerate of the rights and feelings of others by making sure the owner of the property where the urn is to be buried approves.
