Losing a loved one in the United States
It's commonly known that every aspect of the funeral industry in the US is highly expensive. A couple of positives I've learned:

1. All veterans are entitled to many free benefits if buried at a "national cemetery" (they are scattered all over).

2. Hospice is one of the best things in the US. Everything is free, including a year of bereavement counseling. I just received the kindest phone message informing me of that.
