A well provided/supported society which are dying alone, Sweden is reknown with its super-concerns (volvo, erricson, ikea, saab) and massive social programs to support the unprotected layers of society.

The % of GDP spent on, for example, social benefits for the elderly and retirees is the highest in the world. Free healthcare. 80 percent of taxes are used to finance this healthcare.

but a different statistic exists as well.

In Stockholm, 90% of the deceased are cremated, 45% of the urns are uncollected by the relatives of the deceased.

Funerals are very dry (without much ado), the workers of the crematory don't know who's remains they are burning, since the urns only have an identification number.

From economical purposes, the energy created from cremating the urns is (by opting in) utilized in heating a house, or a municipal area.

The lack of burial ceremonies is only a part of a whole tendency of disregard of feelings and emotions in many swedish families.
