Cemetery And Crematorium Price List

[ivor4781]

my friends mum has just died (she had a good innings)looking at the crem / burial fees list i am gobsmacked at what they are charging vulnerable people,
for instance a small example the plastic urn for ashes £30 ! what is nothing more than a thicker plastic sweet container,

It a sad time as we all know Ivor when we go to meet our maker, I do not want my wife to spend a fortune on my leaving, but the both of us will be doing oiur homework on prices, we are not rich but comfortable but neither do we want to get ripped off, if you can advise then to search around for prices it may sound "Cheap" to do so but it's sensible I think.

Funerals are for the ones left behind not the dead.

How would they feel taking home your ashes in a plastic box!

I know exactly what I want and my husband is aware of it, we are not a family to get hung up on weddings and funerals, my father feels the same.

Hi Ivor, it 'can' be very expensive, depends what you want I suppose .. https://www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/en/articles/how-much-does-a-funeral-cost#what-is-a-direct-cremation

Try to die in Belfast and not in Beckenham or Nuneaton (among others):

they wouldn't mind one bit,but they would if i was left £4000 out of pocket,depends on how "your mind" accepts it,ashes are to be scatted anyway not kept at home.
