They would be off my list, too, until I discovered that everyone else is $2,250. Then we'd be talking again. That makes sense, in that the logistics in getting access to the home might be an issue. "Must have loading dock." And if you die at home, I bet the process is different than if you were in a facility under doctor's care. When my mother died, no autopsy was required because she was under the care of a visiting nurse. I appreciate your posting your experiences. I'm taking notes for getting this done.
We have a fairly comprehensive Advanced care directive thats lodged with our GP and we also have a copy in a cupboard in the kitchen that’s got small a ACD label on the small cupboard door, for any emergency care where a ambulance may be called …..or if you call emergency services depending on what the issue is they will send out a first responder to check if you really need to be taken to hospital or are deceased the police and funeral directors are called . https://www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/wps/...vance+care+directives/advance+care+directives About Advance Care Directives The Advance Care Directive empowers you to make clear legal arrangements for your future health care, end of life, preferred living arrangements & other personal matters. We have requested for no funeral just be cremated and ashes scattered in the secret garden near home with no fuss ..Or make out mourners ….who are just hanging around like seagulls hoping to get all the hot “ chips” Part of the secret garden near home that overlooks the sea …
What a lovely last resting place! Here I would never call an ambulance--insanely expensive. Put me in a hefty bag and throw me in the trunk. I got run over by a horse once and everyone started yelling call 911! I mustered all my strength and growled DON"T call 911!
We pay a annual fee of $130.00 that covers us Australia wide for Ambulance , it used to cost us about $90.00 which covered Aust wide but don’t know what happened all of a sudden our fee only covered us for South Aust where we live ….we are happy to pay the Aussie wide fee as we travel interstate on average twice a year We still have the choice of just paying for SA ambulance coverage ….or Aust wide @Mary Stetler
I think here it is $900 a ride and it could just be for 15 minutes although some calls are from the second story, I guess. My deductible was $1000 when the horse took me down.
Over the many yrs of my life I believe I had a few ambulance rides and can also recall that some balances due the companies,were erased as I would start to make some payments and the companies just cancelled what I supposedly owed....this is probably a normal thing in the ambulance world....
Science Care https://www.sciencecare.com/ I'm talking to these people and now we're in phone tag...... I'm still in the mode of doing remains as inexpensively as possible. If worse comes to worse I'll spring for what I have to.... OK, I'm registered here, all free. Now if I can only get my daughter to cooperate to talk about this and fill out the paperwork.
Wellllllll, I offered a place to my brother in either my mulch or manure pile. His choice. Probably room for one more...
That sounds good to me, @Mary Stetler. I find it interesting that Jesus told everyone to avoid the fires of Hell/Gehenna, but now everybody chooses fire as their preferred method of disposal, largely for economic reasons. I would choose to rot or compost...even cheaper, and you return to the earth as fertilizer instead of contributing to smog and using up fossil fuels
All this reminds me of the show I once saw of the natural burials in North Carolina. -No embalming -No casket -No marker (just GPS coordinates) This is done in random spots in the woods, not a formal cemetery-like field. I don't know if it exists elsewhere as a formal service, or if it still exists in N.C.
This man was very well know “shock jock “ radio / talkback announcer in Adelaide , he died in about 2016 think it was, and he always mentioned in the radio he was donating his body to science https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11...-francis-remembered-after-death-at-77/8020566 He had a book written about his life not long before his death it was called( Kiss my arse ) so you can just imagine what he was like in his talkback show ..,he really got out of control so they sacked him 2 years before his death . When he died he was living with his 7 th wife ..and he was her 8 th husband at one stage he was married to the top Madam in SA ( Ladies of the night ) and only divorced her after being threatened with loosing his job ..it just didn’t sit well having a well known top jock radio announcer married to a Madam
Yes , that’s correct …. @Mary Stetler .prior to that he rode a huge Harley Davidson motorbike and he fell off it / or got knocked off by a car the reason he gave up riding His gopher was like a combination of a the Harley MB and the bigger gopher you could buy We often seen him in Costco with Anna his 7 th wife
There you go! That's in South Carolina. It looks like a regular cemetery grounds. $1,800 all inclusive. Here's a list of green [natural] burial grounds in North Carolina. This one only permits biodegradable containers (I think it's in the woods), marking the spot with a rock (upon which your loved ones may write your name.)
