Top Comments of this video!! :3
I have a masters in thanatology (the care of dead bodies) and this is actually a huge issue. the bare minimum price for death care is for cremation in a very simple box and tends to be around 2,000$ in the US. if you can not afford it most commonly the state will have the body cremated but you will not receive the ashes back. it's honestly really messed up.

okay so i CAN actually tell you how this works because my mom was IN this episode!
so they arent really all actors, some are. they post these casting calls on acting websites. the stories have to actually be true and you need to actually provide evidence for everything. they pay you just to come, and then steve harvey is the one who pays the money you win. so you are like..technically suing steve harvery rather then the other person.
anyways thats all there is to the show

When my mother passed away, I was trying to get money together for her cremation. She passed at 12:34 on a Friday, and on Monday morning, the hospital called me to complain that I hadn't taken care of the cremation yet. The woman then very coldly said, "If you're too poor to afford it, you can always donate her body, and you won't have to pay for it.". I feel like she was trying to help, but the way she said it was so insulting, almost like she was saying, "We can throw it out for you, if you're too poor.". I couldn't even talk to the crematorium over the weekend, but they acted like I had been dragging my feet and causing them all kinds of problems.

The strangest part of all this is that my best friend's mother passed recently and the day we picked up her remains we did a "girls day" to help her keep her mind off of the grief. Her mom's ashes literally sat in the back seat of my car while we went shopping. Even stranger? Her brother had to pick them up because he was on the same side of town and my friend also happened to be dropping off an Xbox he had bought. So we also literally exchanged an Xbox for human remains. I wish I was fucking kidding.

5:32 fun fact!: in Chinese culture, if we go to a funeral its polite to give "white gold" ( aka some money ) to the grieving family, to help with the costs and all that. My uncle recently passed, and my family's well off so we donated the white gold to charities

As a former postal employee, it is not illegal to send remains and it's super common but it has to be disclosed to us, there has to be paperwork with it and it can only go express shipping because it needs a signature for delivery/ pick up.
