No, no, he would be very enthusiastic. After all, here's what he said about another excellent government program aimed at saving lives:

"Mr. President, I would not rule out the chance to preserve a nucleus of human specimens. It would be quite easy at the bottom of some of our deeper mineshafts. The radioactivity would never penetrate a mine some thousands of feet deep. And in a matter of weeks, sufficient improvements in dwelling space could easily be provided. It would not be difficult mein Fuhrer! Nuclear reactors could, ... I'm sorry. <i>Mr. President.</i> Nuclear reactors could provide power almost indefinitely. Greenhouses could maintain plant life. Animals could be bred and slaughtered. A quick survey would have to be made of all the available mine sites in the country. But I would guess... that ah, dwelling space for several hundred thousands of our people could easily be provided."

A sort of macabre nice time: In my son's case, the funeral home and crematory waived all fees. We were never even asked about money, and I definitely wasn't frugal with the service - baby grand piano, a singer, catered snacks and drinks, and a couple thousand balloons (I know, I know, bad for the environment, but good for my grieving heart.)
