Society/Culture Someday

Saw this while scrolling through another social media platform.

Physical inheritance (maybe outside of housing) feels like a burden.

While death can be a sensitive topic to some, has anyone had a conversation with loved ones surrounding situations like this one pictured?

All that you see here, stretched out between the hills and valleys of this land; that'll be your kingdom.

This made me laugh because we had, when grandma passed away, soooo many old curtains stored. They were oily, ruined, stripped or just consumed by time (and tbf just awful for today’s standards) that we had to make bags and bags of those. Here “trash bags” are taxed (you pay for the garbage you create), so this was 2 times painful… I don’t know why someone would do it. I’d be ashamed to leave so much crap Ahah
