My family has given up funerals. An inexpensive cremation and urn is all that's expected, but even that will run up to a few hundred bucks.
And who is responsible for it? My wife is carrying her mother's urn around, and someday I'll be responsible for my parents'. Then we'll go, and that's FIVE sets of remains being passed down to my son! What's he supposed to do with all these old dead people?
Scatter the ashes some place real nice.
Plan to scatter from the get go and save a bunch of money not buying an urn. Cardboard box and a plastic bag from the crematorium.
