8. Shipped caskets are cheaper than the ones you buy at the funeral home. Funeral home has to accept it

Newspaper listings are not mandatory. They can consist of person's name and further information can be found at the funeral home's website.

You don't need to pay for a visitation at the funeral home at a cost of $$ per afternoon and/or evening. All of our family funerals are now concluded with cremation or burial, sometimes private. Then, an "afternoon of remembrance" at a local park, a month or two later. The cost would be free or about $100. for the reservation of the park space if the recreation department requires such. Provide as much catered food as you can afford.

Visit two or three funeral homes and ask their advice.

I hope the treatment postpones the need for the above advice.
