    If you really want to do it cheaply,  you don’t need an undertaker, coffin or hearse.
    You can do it all yourself.  You can collect the ashes, or if you don’t,  they will sprinkle them on the crematorium gardens.

    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    It's the type of send off I want too.  No fuss.  I hate going to funerals.  However, Firstborn is horrified at the prospect.  She says it gives people the opportunity to come and say goodbye.  I said, " if they can't bother to come and see me when I'm alive there's no point in coming when I'm dead".

    Totally agree ... if folk want to go to a funeral to say goodbye to me, then they don't know me very well.

    Yvie,    That’s exactly what I say,  and all those gushing wreaths,  and flowers,  not to mention those letters covered in flowers,   If you can’t bring them flowers when they’re alive,  there’s no point when they’re dead.

    Tomorrow is my friend's funeral.  I'm dreading it as she was only 45 and died very suddenly. But because of that I think her funeral will be a way for people to be together to grieve.  @Hostafan1 - I am thinking of you too today.

    Still no rain here today.  There were 17 drops on the step earlier but dried up now. And now the sun is out.

    I agree @didyw .., there are times when it’s what is needed. 😢

    Quite so,  you and your friends & family will remember. I have often heard it said that funerals are for the living to absolve their consciences.  
    All the best to you @Hostafan1
