Saving Money With Cremation Services
People don’t pass on when it’s convenient. Life just doesn’t work that way. And if you have a death in your family, you might have to organize cremation services in Daytona Beach, FL at a hard time in your life. You might not only have little time, but you might also be short on funds. If your loved one didn’t leave much behind, the costs might come down to you. If you weren’t expecting the expense, it can be very hard to fit it all in. But don’t worry. Cremation is completely honorable for your loved one—and affordable. Here are a few ways you can save with the cremation in order to fit things into a price point you can afford.
Choose Cremation In The First Place
The first way you can save money with cremation is to choose cremation in the first place. Cremation is much less expensive than formal funerals and burials—we’re talking thousands of dollars cheaper. It simply uses fewer products and services, which cuts back on lots of different things you don’t have to pay for any longer. Just in choosing cremation, you will save a lot of money and still give your loved one the honor they deserve.
Go With The Basic Container
When you choose a cremation package, they are completely inclusive. They come with everything you need so you don’t have to buy anything else. Some people think they have to buy an urn for their loved one, but they don’t have to. The cremation package will come with a basic container for their ashes, which will then be returned to you. If you are going to scatter their ashes, you don’t really need an urn anyway. Plus, urns cost extra. So by forgoing the urn purchase, you can save even more.
Plan Smart Services
You might worry about having a memorial service because it will also cost more, but if you are smart about the services, they can cost very little or be completely free. You could have a service in a family home with volunteers hosting a reception after. You could do something in a park around the ash scattering. Or you could even do something online. There are inexpensive and free ways to honor someone’s passing without spending a lot, or anything at all.
