I remember the crap they tried to push on me when I was getting my dads stuff dealt with before he died.
Between the expensive urns, the upsell for the cremation box instead of a plywood one. Memorial benches and whatnot, then the pressure to have an expensive service and wake at their facility.
I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch of stuff, too.

I got lucky with my mothers funeral last August. The woman who worked was us was easy to deal with and simply gave us the options and let us choose what we wanted. Plus there was zero pressure from her and no upsell. Did a basic cremation and had a family gathering afterwards to celebrate her life.
Sliver won't like this but her box of ashes is displayed in the China cabnet until my brother and I decide what to do with her ashes next summer.
