My mom passed last week. We thought that we'd have assistance from the county with her cremation costs, but it turns out we won't since the denied the application. So now we're scrambling to get several thousand dollars for it (welcome to living in BFE and having only a few funeral homes so they all gouge us on prices) when we're totally in the red. We've exhausted every single option we may have had. If you guys can spare anything, I and my family would be eternally grateful.
Right now, we're sitting at a cost of $4200. This is the cheapest option they offer. We're just getting a simple cremation, no memorial or wake or anything. No one expected this all to happen so fast and arrangements weren't made. What's done is done though and now we're just trying to make sure that she gets laid to rest.
