My grandma died yesterday and cremation costs over 2,000$ no way we can afford this. Started a gofundme on Facebook hopefully to raise the money for a service.
It means you can ask the crematory if nobody is there during the cremation and if they don't have to dress the body, would it be cheaper? I know that that's typically the case. I would ask for financial assistance or ways to lower cost. This is a difficult time and I'm sure they can work something out.
