With both my Step father and mother, they were cremated, without embalming.
Travel to the church or where ever is a big part of the cost. Hence being cremated straight away saves two ways.
We had a service done by a friend who was a minister, and the Senior Citz put the food on for afterwards for my Stepfather.
We had a service for Mum done by the same minister but neither were religious events. And the family did the food.
Mum didnt even want that but we did it for her Siblings really.
Im just really glad that we never got around to adding my name to her farmers account, cos it would have meant I would be stuck with the debt. Just had to send them a copy of her death certificate and they wrote it off.
I might look into giving my body to science. Then it would even bee cheaper lol.

They told me I couldn't, so I did.!!
