[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are the next of kin, you will decide.

Keep in mind it's usually not just the cremation: there is a casket (used just for the cremation), the urn (used for the burial), certified copies of death certificate, state medical examiner's fee, at minimum. All that is [i]separate [/i]from the cremation and for my mom, cost $930. Her direct cremation cost was $3,925.

There are a lot of other frills you can buy, e.g., for a funeral ceremony.

Then the niche in the cemetery where you put the urn will also cost something, and you'll want to shop around because prices vary considerably. (Unless you want to go with the "keep it on the mantlepiece" route.)[/quote]

No.  You don’t need all that.  The price is correct and you only pay extra for more death certificates.  We never did a casket.  They give you an urn but we got a different one as we did a natural burial.   They shipped the remains to the burial spot for a little more too.   You got ripped off.  [/quote]
