Here's something perhaps aarp might consider addressing that many of us retirees in Vegas have been discussing. 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.

We've learned each state has regulations, some won't accept body donation, and terribly vague options...

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...

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?

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...

Thanks in advance, AARP.
