Unfortunately probably some of you have been thru a cremation process with a loved one. My Mom has terminal lung cancer and neither her nor my dad have any money for the funeral so it will be up to us kids to somehow foot the bill. She has expressed a desire to be cremated which I have been told is cheaper then a traditional burial.
What is involved in the procedure and how can it be done as cheaply as possible? I'm sure my mom would want it that way and any excess money we did have would be better spent on her wishes and needs while she is still alive. Can anything be done in advance to lessen the cost? One thing that comes to mind, do you still have to buy a casket for viewing during a wake? I have been searching the net for cremation basics 101 but so far have come up empty.
If the family does not have any money for a burial, what happens then, do the towns usually pay for it? Thanks for any input.
