Diesel and the funeral car: a forum joke
In one thread, a user commented jokingly that at the current price of diesel, the funeral car will be a luxury. The thread does not include quotes, tariffs, or industry data confirming a real increase in the final journey costs: it is a joke among participants. Other messages trinc this tone, oscillating between irony and insult.
From diesel funeral car to electric, as a joke
Another forum member jokingly imagines an electric funeral car: “Can you imagine dying and being put in an ELECTRIC funeral car!!!!,” they write, adding with laughter that cremation would be included in the transport. The thread does not indicate that the sector is considering electrifying the fleet or dealing with amortization figures. These are musings, not budgets.
The thread offers no breakdown regarding who pays the bill or margins to compare prices. The messages focus on diesel, the funeral car, and cremation, without budgets or data from funeral homes. The joke about luxury remains, therefore, as the opinion of the participants.
If fuel prices determine how much the last journey costs, will there be first-class and second-class funerals depending on what the tank indicates? This is the question hovering over the thread, but it does not gather a response from the sector or funeral home budgets that would resolve it.
