The question of Cremation

<< < (2/4) > >>

rick:
maybe i am wrong about this, but my understanding is that every taxpayer is eligible for a funeral upon his or her death. it may be just a pine box in a city owned cemetary but what difference would it make anyhow????? does any one know for sure if this is right or not..........rick

Yes

Total cost for cremation in Atlanta area in 2002 = about $300 with no memorial service (as most of my mom's family were either deceased or very long distance.)  You may elect to keep the cremains.  Funeral homes usually offer a variety of urns or containers (usually expensive) or you may bring your own.

Not to be morbid but since ....flesh profitheth nothing....here is an interesting page from MSN about.....a $800 funeral.

I told my friends a shoe box sounded okay to me. No memorial service please .....I do not want 'My life on earth " remembered.

I'm so glad this question was asked!  I have long wanted to be cremated but after my husband and I joined our church I always wondered how we would deal with the church, being cremated, having a memorial service, etc.

Now, my plan is to be cremated, have my ashes thrown off of a boat somewhere, and maybe a small gathering of friends and family.  No "home going" service for me! :)
