Wifey just got back from
I’ve been thinking about it a lot actually.
The last three funerals I have attended cost an average ten thousand dollars. ($10,000.00) It makes me sick to think that anyone would take advantage of a grieving family to make a buck.

... i should prolly call G.E. now and have them stand down.
Shit. Plan your death, Chuckie. It'll take months to get you there in a jar:
What documents do I need when returning remains to Trinidad and Tobago?
Copy of the passport of the deceased.
Copy of identification of next of kin (National ID card or passport).
Letter from the Trinidad and Tobago consulate or mission stating the authenticity of the documents produced for the transportation of the human remains.
Embalming certificate from the funeral home.
Permit to transport human remains available from the Controller of Customs.
The official certificate of death issued by the local register of deaths or similar authority.
Exemplification of death record (issued by the department of health abroad).
