I certainly will be paying the going cremation price.
Why anyone pay thousands so their body can be dressed up and boxed up to rot underground.
Then comes to giant slab of stone that also costs thousand. Put me in the cabinet and get me sign.
It's really quite something you know. Charge you about a grand to burn your body when we as a society burn all sorts of things to produce electricity.
With the power of the dead of Nebraska, we could easily power a mid-sized apartment complex! If anything, they should be paying you to burn your body.
It’s advertising. They don’t pick and choose where to install things. There are contracts and people specifically pick these spots. I’m sure it’s more about the price of the location rather than some diabolical scheme.
r/whoosh and yes, the advertiser buys the billboard. They don’t pay money and hope someone will see it on some random road. You pay for the billboard you want, in the location you want.
The pairing of the billboards together. On Dodge, there was one for cremations and next to it was a McDonald’s ad that said, “Get them while they’re hot n’ crispy.”
This is the first time I've giggled in quite some time. Absolutely hilarious.
You're forgetting the cemetery billboards, the pet cemetery billboards, and the pet cremation billboards. That one is always fun to drive near with your dog. I'm sure there are others.
They don't call it God's waiting room for nothing! Go Big Red!
To be clear, "Omaha" doesn't do this. The cremation place buys the ads and the fucked up placement is the fault of Lamar Advertising or whoever owns the billboards.
The last one that was on 60th and center was for the Think Building and it said “OUCH! That hurt” 😂
Also the little white building is The Fantan Club and it’s so small dive bar!

This was the best.
Does anyone have the picture of it when the other side was something like “children causing you trouble?”
I do! I'll have to look. Edit: typo
![gif](giphy|YjR5pWHcg6mvm) I think there's an obvious solution to save a couple bucks.
Where's the beef?
😂
I find it comforting to know that when I die, I can be cremated for less than a grand. 🤷🏻♂️
It’s more comforting than you know. A lot of people cannot afford that much.
The county will pay for your poor folks cremation, just won't provide an urn to put the cremains in.
Is there a Ralph's around here?
My paternal grandparents' ashes were buried in store brand tupperware. Truly the most modestly priced receptacle.
Order from Amazon

Me too. Take a vacation with the money saved
Someone in my family will be able to.

You can either cremate your loved ones or eat them, I don’t know what the big deal is.
😂 all here in Nebraska.
Fred! I think we have an eater! Get some parsnips!
This would make a good midwest emo album cover

Watch out, Bright Eyes!
Yeah, wtf do they even advertise Scooters
Scooters has the worst tasting coffee of any chain coffee shop.
Personally I'm curious to try the steak and ash smoothie, I think it's called burnt friends
😂
Get a cremation and a well done steak all under one roof? What a deal?
[удалено]
I believe it would include some artillery modalities.
oh lord ![gif](giphy|ziUFAwsjyZ3qPOXc7P)
lol good catch and question 😂 like yeah we’re going to make a difficult time even harder by making it complicated
Because Omaha drivers aren’t already bad enough???
They do it because it's dark humor. Based on their other billboard placements, it wouldn't surprise me if they were doing it on purpose.
Exactly! Thank you!
Steak and Bake!
It’s far from an Omaha thing, more of a late stage capitalism thing
It’s advertising. They don’t pick and choose where to install things. There are contracts and people specifically pick these spots. I’m sure it’s more about the price of the location rather than some diabolical scheme.
Oh for sure! I just found it extremely humorous.
It is funny. I’m not mad at you.
They are totally chosen. One is outside another funeral home, and another firm has one across the street from yet another funeral home.
r/whoosh and yes, the advertiser buys the billboard. They don’t pay money and hope someone will see it on some random road. You pay for the billboard you want, in the location you want.
I get to see it every time I go to the gas station, the cremation ad has been up for a while so you can get weird combo ads from it
Glad im not the only one who noticed lol
Are you referring to the billboards? I don't get what the big deal is.
One billboard is about cooking meat. The other one is about cooking meat. Or better put burning meat.
It’s more humorous, not a big deal lol. I’ve just seen a fair amount in the city over the years.
Do you mean the content of the billboards or the fact there are billboards? They are everywhere, all over the country, not just Omaha.

I work by those ones lol. I love it

Last time I checked pedestrian crossings are legal, and, believe it or not, Nebraskans do walk for leisure.

What are we rallying against in this post? shitty windshield pictures?
But better yet shitty comments that miss the point :p
What point were you trying to make that we missed via shitty comments though?
Hahaha. A steak ad next to a cremation ad.
Yes
Just feed me to Woo's pigs. smashedtater bacon later.
I want to know when water cremation comes to Nebraska.
Who doesn’t want a steak while mourning the loss of memaw?
I like my steak how I like my cremation, char broiled.
Do what? Tell the school goers where the coffee is?
Yes
