[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can do a budget cremation for around $1k.  It’s absurd to blow $15k-$20k on a funeral.[/quote]

Saving money isn’t everything some people value celebration of life services for family and friends. [/quote]

Some people do not have a choice, financially.[/quote]

Exactly. My dad sold his funeral plot to pay off some debt and canceled his life insurance policy. He was broke when he passed. My sister and I paid for his burial costs out of savings but looked around for budget options. We worked with a funeral home that was willing to negotiate with us, since we kept mentioning cheaper alternatives elsewhere (ie. headstone and urn). I had found his plot on Craigslist for deep savings (on west coast). Also, we each opened up a credit card that earns travel rewards/points, and the funeral costs met the sign up bonus instantly (I only recommend this option if you are good with your credit and paying off CC's.)[/quote]
