My wife passed away from cancer a few months ago and her wish was to be cremated.We chose "Direct Cremation". The cost for one large Urn and two Keepsake Urn's (Cancer Awareness theme) was $2,100.00.In lieu of a service, I hosted a Celebration of Life ceremony here at the house two weeks after she passed.Also, I have chosen Direct Cremation for myself and already prepaid for it. Less the cost of the Urns, the total was $1,400.00 with the same Funeral Home ... They gave me a 10% discount for being a "Preferred Customer" ...Upon my death, both of our Cremains will be entombed in Arlington National Cemetery.
@Pepp: I'm sorry for your loss. Cancer sucks!!!
