Do you believe that a cap should be put on funeral spending?

So I have a school debate coming up and this is the topic... I want to know arguments for both sides to see further into the issue :) thanks :)

I would definitely say no. I'm not sure what you mean by this, but I assume you mean giving the government the right to say you can only spend a certain amount of money on a funeral. I have no idea where you live either, but here in U.S. the government is typically supposed to keep it's greedy fingers out of our affairs. I personally would say no, there should be no cap, a person has the right to spend as much money as they want on a loved one's funeral.

I guess it would mean that laundering money through a funeral home would be harder

........................................ No.

Not at all. I'm interested in what the people who would say yes have to say.

It's hard enough losing a loved one and even just claiming insurance, writing off bills etc can be hard enough. Without having to worry about a limit on the amount you can spend on your final goodbye. It's seems cold and cruel to stop people saying goodbye to their loved ones exactly how they want.

I think that people should be able to memorialize their loved ones in any legal way (i.e. you can't have them stuffed, you can't build a monument to them in a place were a monument isn't allowed etc.) because it is hard saying goodbye to a loved one and if there is a limit to spending then a lot of memorials wouldn't be possible.

Do you mean funeral homes shouldn't be allowed to charge over a certain amount, or that you shouldn't be allowed to spend however much you want?

No. If someone wants to spend 25,000 dollars on a funeral, well, that's their right. The government has no right to tell people how much they should spend on a funeral. If they can afford it, go ahead. How would this cap thing work anyways? Equal to everyone? So the rich and famous would have to have the same funeral as a poor person? What about the thousands of more people who come to the funeral? The security?

[Mortal Coil]

No. People should be allowed to spend as much or as little on their last memory with their loved ones as they want.
