As I sort through junk mail, the sheer volume of trash is staggering. What a waste of resources. Fliers for special sales on food I would never eat, elderly footwear catalogs, and home alarm systems using fear mongering as a lure. Of a “certain age”, I’m receiving relentless membership invitations from AARP (the American Retirement Benefits organization) offering discounts for all of the happy retirees out there. (Insert eye roll here!)
The latest thing alongside a multitude of life insurance policies, is the plethora of cemetery and cremation packages featuring slick photos with various price tiers and options. Grave or mausoleum? Solo or double wide. So many options, so little time…
How rude! Profiting on every stage of our lives. I feel I’m being nudged into the grave. At the very least show me a pretty urn for my ashes!
