[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 90777, member: 3626"] Went through this with my best friend when her mother died. My friend really wasn't capable of making any decisions at the time. Fortunately, I'd talked to her mom about what she wanted (cremation), so we went to The Neptune Society. It isn't in every state, but is in many. Its cremation services are much cheaper and they really do help with many of the options, etc. (for Florida today a basic cremation is $1,888 with travel; $1,489 without). What we did was opt for the basic cremation and purchased a very nice marble urn. We could have had Neptune Society hold a memorial service for Katie's mom (they scatter ashes over the sea at no extra charge if you choose this) but we opted to hold a rowdy wake on Ethel's birthday, which was 4 months after her death. I think the timing was perfect. The initial rawness was gone but there was still lots of love and laughs and tears left. [/QUOTE]
