[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 601585, member: 1963"] husband was cremated per his request. He also requested that we not spend a lot of money on it (his exact words had something to do with a pile of wood and 5 gallons of kerosene,LOL) We used the Neptune Society. They were very good. The process was handled in a dignified and respectful manner through a local funeral home. Eleven years ago the cost was around 1100 dollars. I should think it's gone up quite a bit over time, but they are probably your best bet for a cremation on a budget. There is no extra fee to get the ashes back and the funeral home will offer you a choice of urns to fit your budget should you so desire. husband wanted his ashes scattered at a specific location not far from where I now live. It took about two weeks to get the ashes back in a cardboard box. The funeral home handled the obituary and getting the death certificates. (get several more than you think you will need) I'm sorry to hear about your mother. I hope she goes peacefully and with dignity. You are in my thoughts during this difficult time. [/QUOTE]
