My family went to a discount casket store when my uncle died. Imagine grieving over losing a loved one and you have to listen to the funeral home manager getting bitched out by the casket store owner because the funeral home was refusing to take the casket because it wasn’t “the right size”. It was the exact same as one they sold, the casket store owner called him out on his bullshit, even though he would have to take it regardless if it was the right size or not(he was saying it was off by an entire inch). They wouldn’t have used that funeral home but my grandma had a pre-purchased plot there from 20-30 years prior.

If you are in possession of a uterus make sure to specify that your wishes are the same if you are found to be pregnant. And be super specific. If I’m coma wishes are xyz, even if pregnant, if I’m vegetative state wishes are abc, even if pregnant, if declared brain dead wishes are xyz, even if pregnant, etc.

Texas has already tried that bullshit once. Woman was brain dead, and despite her wishes being not to remain on life support the hospital said that because she wasn’t pregnant at the time she made that decision and she didn’t specify that her wishes would be the same if she were pregnant they were going to pretend that she wanted her dead body to be used as an incubator. It took several months of her husband and her parents fighting the hospital in court before even the judge had enough of the hospitals bullshit and ordered them to check on the status of the fetus(they kept saying they couldn’t tell). Hospital finally had to admit the fetus was incompatible with life and the judge ordered them to take her off life support.
