I'm not sure that contemporary funerals are individually more costly than the Egyptian deals for pharoahs. Collectively, though, it's curious. One alternative not mentioned is doing away with a burial or cemetary stint and instead donating one's body to science. That's so what I'm doing. My cells and neurons are like "Oh yeah!" hip with that idea.
I like their jackal character! Interesting stuff too. From my limited experience cremation is on the rise, of the funerals I've been to more have been memorial services with ashes than the coffin/burial thing. I like it that way better. The cardboard coffin is creepy. o.o
