My Uncle just past today he was on life support since yesterday. He had a heart attack and collasped and had a seizure. We were all hoping (praying) for the best but he didn't make it. My uncle doesn't have any kind of life insurance or benfits or anything that can help us with the funeral cost. He lived with my grandmother and couldn't work cause of his bad heart. Theres no money! We have to try and scrap up something to have him sent off in the proper way. My question is how much would a very low budget funeral run round? This is a serious question please don't post any ignorant answers or rude remarks. All so how do i help my family especially my mother she lost her father april 22, two years back and now her brother. I want to help her i want to help my whole family but i can't because its hard for me to im trying to get by. Im taking it a little better than i expected but its still hard watching the rest of the family grieve. Today was supposed to be different.

we planned to have a good day, a great weekend. The whole family was gathering. Everyone was getting together. It seems like everytime our family gets together likes this something bad all ways happens. Like the Lord is bring us together for one last moment one last goodbye. It happened with my grandaddy and now my uncle. Im sorry to put all this out but it helps me. To let it out put out there in the open. All i can do is think about his daughters 16 and 4. The little 4 year old is so attached to him. She loves him so much how do we explain to her that her daddy isn;t coming home that her daddy won't wake up/hes taking a long nap. But this is was gonna happen evenutally he went through something similar this same time last year. They had to revive him twice last year but he cleaned up his act we thought he would get better. His heart just wouldn't heal. Again im sorry to go on on but it helps me let out my feelings and thoughts. Plz i forgive me. But plz answer my question.

I am very sorry for your loss.
However if you would like to have a traditional funeral service you can expect to pay about $10,000 and that is including cemetery property. One thing to consider is looking into the package deals that the Mortuary may have. It is normally less expensive if you do not have a church service if money truly is an is an issue, it is normally a few hundred dollars less if you just use the mortuary chapel.
Another way to cut some expense is do Cremation. You can still have a Viewing and Service, and have cremation. Doing this eliminates the fees of the cemetery.

The cost is up to you and the family. We had my Mother cremated and that cost $1500 and the urn was $100. Then we had graveside services and a dinner afterwards put on by the American Legion auxillary. If the family cannot afford the cremation check with the county. Sometimes they will pick up the cost. God Bless you and your family.

Funerals are really expensive, unfortunately. but some cost saving tips based on my experiences around my grandfather's (cheap) and mother's (expensive) funerals:
-Have him cremated. it is far cheaper and then the burial cost will also be cheaper.
-You can wait to purchase the headstone
-Have the funeral at a church as opposed to a funeral home. Most churches will do it for very cheap, especially if money is an issue.

What a pair of force-In funeral, the place you force as much as the 1st vacant one-plot-suits-all area and easily slide the coffin off your returned seat into the hollow? If it is not super sufficient, you purely ask the attendant to "Supersize me". you will pay the fee via credit card on the gadget placed on the go out barrier. a severe-high quality theory may be to comprise an automatic automobile-wash too .....
