My dad was burned up in his box. So it didn't look like much of anything for very long.

Funeral homes are predators looking to rob people. Which reminds me of a story told to me by a (now, friend) former employer. George, prior to buying and operating his own restaurant, used to be a food salesman for the Farar(sp?) Brothers (wholesale grocery) located in Wichita, KS. George, with a group of other salesmen (not associated with the food business), would usually spend the night at some motel in Dodge City before taking orders on the return trip back to Wichita. One night, one of the other salesmen gathered the group of regulars together, and told them he was going to let them in on a fantastic deal because they had all become such good friends. He pulled out a brand new suit from his vendor's case, holding it up for them to look at. Indeed, by George's judgement, the suit was very nice for the seemingly ridiculous price for which the suits could be had. But the joke was on the friends by the prankster. The suits had no backs. And the salesman? His customers were funeral homes. Guess one just never knows what one is actually buying.
