I'm sitting in company break room listening to conversations while eating lunch. Overheard a woman saying that her brother was extremely ill, could die any moment, and had no life insurance, and the family would have to go together to pay funeral expenses. Then she said, "Thank God I've got life insurance!"
My first thought was, 'God has nothing to with it', my 2nd thought was, 'God's paying your insurance premiums? Damn that has to be good life insurance'

I often say "Thank the stars." But there's really no point. At that distance they'd never hear me.

FYI natural burial is cheaper and better for the environment, just saying.

Do you mean woodland burial?. It sounds like a good idea but takes up a lot of space. Cremation uses a lot of energy and causes polution. Leaving the bodies for the wolves and vultures ?. An option if you live in the desert but here in the Uk it would be foxes and feral cats so not a good plan.
@Moravian Natural burial is becoming a thing in the US and it has been proven that wild animals do not dig up properly buried bodies. There are some wild spaced where burials are done, but a lot of municipalities are now allowing burials with biodegradable containers and no chemicals. [orderofthegooddeath.com]
@Moravian It is the norm to be embalmed. And most people still do that. Sometimes even embalming before cremation. That is why it is important to preplan a natural burial. I am in poor health and covid has been a threat to me. I am also a teacher so I am exposed to covid and other things constantly. I purchased a natural cemetery plot in Sept. of 2020. TBH, I am a bit surprised that I am still here. Unfortunately, my plot is a bit of a drive from where I live so a funeral home will have to be involved to transport my body to where it needs to go and they will gouge that money out of my loved ones, but I am striving to get that part worked out before I die as well.
@Moravian My Mum passed a couple of years ago and it was her wish for a natural woodland burial. The place we chose will become a nature reserve once all of the plots are filled. They are strict on only native flowers layed. no seeds, no plastic wrapping. A tree is planted on each grave. The best part is the site will always have anti development protection as it is a burial ground so will always (a few hundred years at least) be a nature reserve.
It's baffling at times, isn't it, how these people never listen to themselves and have no clue how idiotic they sound. Sounds like you have a similar workplace to my last one before I retired.

All righty then?
Who's your doctor and what are you on? I could use some of that.
Once again the egomaniac in the sky gets the credit. But when her brother dies, he won't get the blame.

Of course not! He'll be taking brother HOME! 
@pamagain Home must be a nuthouse
@TheoryNumber3 Nooooo...it's HEAVEN. Harps, hymns, holiness....all the good stuff!
@pamagain He's taking him to Frankfort KY? Wow.
@pamagain And Santa Claus, and the tooth fairy. Fun will be had.
@pamagain, @Gwendolyn2018 He may get credit from her, she thanked him for having life insurance. No credit from me though.
