So many have left us recently with no plan in place; many of us want least expensive and disruptive end of life and have been researching prepaid cremation, disposal options.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>We've learned each state has regulations, some won't accept body donation, and terribly vague options...</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>As our population ages and families aren't as close as in past generations/decades, how to prepare ourselves for our departure and be less a burden...</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Bottom line is why can't cremation be pre-paid and happen in any U. S. State, and why can't this option be available to everyone?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>So, asking could AARP possibly investigate, advocate and educate regarding cremation choices? I would find that very helpful as I've spent over 50 hours researching and can't find any answers that are bottom line...</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks in advance, AARP.</P> Mon, 06 Jul 2026 08:15:52 GMT https://community.aarp.org/t5/Grief-Loss/A-Member-s-Concern/m-p/2679283#M22514 WebWiseWoman 2026-07-06T08:15:52Z
