What is the cheapest way to be cremated?
With direct cremation, there are no ceremonial services involved. The body is cremated shortly after passing, without embalming, viewing or visitation. Next to whole body donation, which includes cremation at no cost, this is the cheapest and most affordable cremation option.
Do I have to pay for a funeral upfront?
This is important because most funeral directors require payment in full before, or very shortly after, the funeral. This means that a family member will have to cover the cost of the funeral upfront and be out of pocket until they can be repaid. For some, this won’t be a big deal.
Can you be forced to pay for a funeral?
In short, no family members can be forced to pay for a funeral. The costs of a funeral come from the deceased person’s estate. This will include savings, property, and any other assets. The family will need to sell any assets or use estate funds to pay for the funeral costs.
