[quote=Anonymous]OP, my father died earlier this fall. "Funeral" can mean different things to different people. For us, his body was donated to a state science program and then cremated. We had a traditional Episcopalian funeral service at their church, but it did not involve caskets or anything like that. At the church we also had a reception after the funeral that was catered by a church related group that specializes in catering for funerals. All in all, it was no more than a few thousand dollars for the church and reception.

My father's ashes will be placed into the columbarium at the church, as will my mother's someday.

I would check with the veterans cemetery about what is doable for your mother. You can have the traditional church service, then the burial at the cemetery. You may not need the funeral home. Especially if there is a cremation. But it will depend on the funeral your mother wants. If you want the casket and open display and visiting hours and the funeral procession, you will pay for it. Is it worthwhile to you? Up to you and your mother. [/quote]
