Cheap Funeral Advice Please

pulliptears

This is exactly what my dad requested before he passed away in March. He wanted no fuss and we followed his requests.

Our local funeral directors did a beautiful coffin that was still exceptionally cheap so it may be worth asking locally if they do a budget package.

My thoughts are with you all

I was watching a programme not so long ago about donating yourself to science. This avoids all funeral costs entirely. I found it very interesting for myself to look into. They also accept people regardless of how they die, since there is always a scientific use for them.

Tried that this morning, also organ donation. Best they could do was cornea, but she had cataracts, or Bone donation is another option - younger people are preferred though. If she died on a life support machine with no illness or infection, then organ donation could be done.

Donating to medical Science/university - well they only will apparently take un-autopsied bodies.

I'm the only relation and she had few friends, so very small funeral.
