Can a person who had an accident or suicide be cremated?
Cremation in people who had an accident or suicide
According to Mexican law it is not possible to cremate a person who had an accident or suicide, cremating a person erases any type of evidence that clarifies the lack of an organ, as well as the causes of death.
Cremation of bodies that suffered violent death is prohibited as:
- Accident.
- Intentional homicide.
- Feminicide.
- Suicide.
If tomorrow there is a suspicion of a violent death, the authorities will be able to carry out the exhumation and resume the investigation with evidence, which would not be possible if cremation had been authorized.
The possibility of having physical evidence in the future, if necessary, should be left open. Justice can even be achieved in cases many years later thanks to DNA testing of the victims.
Mexican cremation laws
Article 348. The burial or cremation of corpses may only be carried out with the authorization of the corresponding officer of the Civil Registry, who will require the presentation of the death certificate.
The corpses must be buried, cremated or embalmed within forty-eight hours after death, unless specifically authorized by the competent health authority or by order of the Public Prosecutor’s Office or the judicial authority.
Burial and cremation of corpses may only be carried out in places permitted by the competent health authorities.
In the case of corpses of known persons, the written consent of the spouse, concubine or common-law spouse, ascendants, descendants, siblings or guardian will be required.
The authority must verify the veracity of such consent and, if applicable, report any irregularity to the health authority and the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office.
So you can only bury a person if they had an accident or suicide?
Yes, and this could be a financial problem for the family since simple cremation is much cheaper than burial.
Simply in a cremation the family can decide to have the urn at home or bury it in the garden, while in a burial they have to hire the services in a cemetery or cemetery which by internal policies sell quadruplex (this makes the prices increase considerably).
Of course everyone loves their family and we would like to carry out the will of the deceased but unfortunately in cases of accidents we often have no say in the matter.

Who will take care of my dog or cat when I die?
Pet care after the death of an owner
Whether you think of your pets simply as your loving companions, or as your (admittedly, very furry) children, you want the best for them, so it’s natural to worry about what might happen to them if you die before they do. Who will take care of pets after the death of an owner, and how can you make sure your puppies are well cared for?
Don’t worry There are ways to set up protections for pets so they get all the petting and treats they deserve when you’re not around. Here’s what you should do…
1. Think about the care that pets will need after the owner’s death.
Does your pet need a safe yard to play in, lots of time and attention, veterinary care? Do they need long walks in the morning, space to explore or lots of toys? Do they play well with other pets and children?
Before you can choose someone to care for your pet when you die, you must find out exactly what that will mean. Take the time now to make a list of:
- What your pet needs.
- How much it costs to provide those things every month and every year.
- People you know who have the time, space and (potentially) money to offer those things.
With the list in hand, you can …
2. Choose who will take care of your cat or dog when you die.
What happens to pets when their owners die? You may choose someone who has cared for your pet before, perhaps when you went on vacation, or simply a friend or relative who loves your pet and meets all the criteria on your list.
Once you have chosen someone, be sure to ask them if they are really willing to accept your pet if something were to happen to you. What happens to pets when their owners die cannot simply be decided by a will: it still needs the cooperation of the people involved.
If you don’t have a friend or relative who can take your pet, there are charities that specialize in finding reliable new owners.
Look for animal shelters in your area, this way pets are cared for in temporary homes until they can be properly rehomed.
Some shelters accept pets while their owners are in the hospital or under care, keeping them in voluntary foster homes. You can also arrange for your pet to be raised permanently with them in the event of your death.
You can have an “emergency dog or cat care” card made to carry in your wallet. This allows emergency service workers to know who to contact to make sure your puppy can be taken into their care and eventually adopted.
These shelters provide care for pets after an owner’s death, but you may still want to leave protection in your will to help them continue their lives.
3. Make provisions for your pets in a will.
Because they are legally considered property, you cannot leave money to your pets in your will. However, you can use a will to appoint a guardian for your pet, someone to care for them in the event of your death. If you already have a will, you can add to it instead of writing a new one.
When providing for pets in a will, it is a good idea to include a back-up guardian in case the person you have chosen is unable to care for your pet when the time comes.
You can leave your guardian some funds in your will specifically for the maintenance and care of your pet. This type of fund sets aside money for the care of the pet, usually with the new owner as the administrator in charge. You can also say what will happen to the remaining funds when your pet dies.
Remember: it is best to talk about your pets in general terms in the will, referring to them as “dogs” or “cats” rather than “Pancho” or “Camila”. This means that you do not have to update it if you adopt more pets.
4. Use a letter of wishes to explain how to care for your pets after your death.
A letter of wishes is a useful additional step when planning for the future of pets. It is essentially a set of instructions to help your executor and beneficiaries better understand your wishes, guarded with your will. You can use it to explain exactly how to take care of your pet: what to feed them, favorite walks or strange habits, in fact all the little things that only an owner knows.
5. Tell your family and friends what should happen to your pets if you die.
Remember, it can take a while for the will to be found after a death, so it is not always immediately clear what happens to pets when their owners die. It is a good idea to tell your friends and family what to do, carry a card in your wallet and leave instructions at home just in case.
? Don’t forget to give your pets a big hug ?

7 things to do when my loved one dies
The loss of a family member can lead to a sea of emotions. You may not want to do anything, or feel exactly the opposite. If you know your loved one may pass away soon, it is helpful to be prepared and have a plan of action to take when the time comes. Here are some important things to do when a loved one dies.
1. Call the funeral home and your trusted physician.
Before your loved one can be cared for by a funeral or cremation provider, a medical professional must declare him or her dead in order to issue a medical certificate of death. If your loved one has died at home, you can call the funeral home or cremation service as long as the death is from natural causes.
If your loved one has died in an accident you must first call 911 or the public prosecutor’s office.
2. Contact family and close friends
Notify immediate family and close friends. Relieve yourself of the burden by asking them to help you notify more distant connections. Arrange for children, parents and pets to be cared for. Contact your loved one’s employer.
3. Secure your properties
Make sure your loved one’s car is parked in a safe area and the house is locked. Ask someone to care for your loved one’s pets before making permanent arrangements.
4. Life Insurance
If your loved one has life insurance, he or she may be eligible for benefits to cover burial or cremation costs. Visit your insurance company’s website to find out what is covered.
5. Locate a will or personal information
It helps to have a plan. Before your loved one passes, talk to your loved one about whether he or she has a will or living trust. Help them organize their personal information for financial and digital accounts. When your loved one has passed away, locate their information and complete the deceased’s requests.
6. Plan a Wake or Celebration
Before your loved one passes, ask them how they would like to be celebrated and remembered. When the time is right, honor their wishes and celebrate their loved one’s life and impact on the world.
Store the cremation urn.
If you decided to have a cremation, you can keep the ashes at home, bury them in a garden or niche, or scatter them in your loved one’s favorite place. All are good options and choose the one that brings you the most peace.

Is cremation cheaper than burial?
End-of-life planning is not easy. There are many factors to consider when making decisions for a loved one’s final arrangements. An important decision is the choice between burial or cremation. The difference between these two can be considerable.
In Mexico, the national average cost of cremation (with funeral) has risen sharply in the last five years. The most economical method is simple cremation, which takes place within hours of death without a traditional funeral service.
The average cost of burial can add up to more than $40,000 pesos. The total cost depends on the services and items selected for burial, including flowers, transportation and headstones. The coffins and the grave can cost thousands of pesos and constitute the major part of the funeral expenses.
Funeral services may include cremation in lieu of burial.
Choosing cremation does not preclude you from having a traditional funeral. After holding a traditional service, a family may choose to have their loved one cremated rather than buried in a cemetery. With the increase in rental caskets used for a funeral service accompanying a cremation, casket costs can be kept quite reasonable. Families may bury their loved one’s cremated remains in a cemetery at a later date or keep them at home.
There are additional costs and charges that you may encounter during the burial process with a funeral home and cemetery. These costs include: embalming, preparation of the body, caskets, crypts and/or funeral containers, graveside services, obituaries and headstones. While the funeral home is responsible for the deceased, casket, arrangements and services. Cemeteries manage their grounds, crypts, the opening and closing of the grave. Funeral homes and cemeteries are often separated.
Finding burial cost information online can be difficult.
End-of-life services can be costly for bereaved families who want to make the best decisions for their loved ones. Pricing information from traditional funeral homes and cemeteries is not always available. A visit to the funeral home and cemetery may be the only way to get an accurate quote. The costs of a full body burial can add up quickly, and more and more people are choosing simple cremation services and a celebration of life when the family chooses followed by burial, storage or scattering of cremated remains in a place that brings them peace.

Why is price transparency in cremation important?
Surveys conducted in several countries make it clear that giving consumers full pricing on cremation and transparent funeral costs will save them money.
For example, prices were analyzed in California, where state law requires prices to be published online. But a loophole in the law meant that 25 percent of funeral homes were hiding their prices from consumers.
The lack of transparency has led to price increases in the funeral home industry. For example, some cremations cost upwards of $40,000 pesos.
“I don’t think $40,000 pesos is a reasonable price for a cremation.”
Studies on cremation prices
A 2016 study also found wide variation in funeral prices. The authors of the report use a restaurant analogy to explain why inclusive pricing is also important:
Imagine a restaurant that offers a special lobster dinner on Fridays for $900 pesos.
If the restaurant followed funeral industry practices, the final bill delivered to a customer would appear this way:
- Lobster special: $ 900 pesos
- Lobster rate — $ 450 pesos
- TOTAL: $ 1,350 pesos
Unlike many competitors, Boinita will never charge hidden and exorbitant additional fees. Our transparent pricing means you know that your total cost will be $6,499 pesos, even if you have special requests.
Consumers can defend themselves armed with information and questions. You can request prices and use alternative containers for leftovers. In addition, it is not necessary to hire all the services they normally offer or special caskets.
Many of us believe that high prices should not be profited from when a person does not have a funeral package, in some cases this price can be as much as double. That is why a simple cremation without a funeral service is often the best option for most families, as it is inexpensive and very easy to arrange. Family members may hold a mass on their own or a gathering with their loved ones at a time of their choosing. You can then decide whether to keep the ashes at home, bury them in a garden or cemetery, pour them into the sea or place them in a niche. There are many options and all are correct.

Burying ashes in a grave or in your garden
If you are thinking about burying the ashes of someone who has been cremated, you may have some questions about how it all works. How does burial of ashes differ from burial in a casket? How can the burial of ashes in an existing grave be arranged? What is the average cost of burying ashes? We will answer several questions here…
The law on burying ashes in a grave
Burying ashes in a grave is very common and quite easy. Legally speaking, when ashes are interred in place, the steps are the same as for the burial of a body, with fewer rules about placement and depth.
There is a bit of paperwork involved: Although the funeral home or cemetery should help you with this step.
When you are burying ashes in the cemetery you must purchase the“exclusive right of burial“. If you plan to do this on private land, you will also need to obtain the landowner’s permission before proceeding with the process.
Or if you scatter ashes instead of burying them, you don’t need any paperwork, just the owner’s permission.
Burying ashes in your garden
Burying ashes in the garden of your home can be a very personal, flexible and economical alternative to a traditional funeral.
You could, for example, arrange a direct cremation without a funeral and then hold a private service at your home when you place the ashes in their final resting place. Or, you could bury the ashes after a funeral as part of an intimate memorial gathering with friends.
Some practical details, apart from the paperwork:
- How deep should cremated ashes be buried? There are no specific rules about this, but it is a good idea to bury them at least one meter deep.
- What type of urn do you need? If you think you might need to move the ashes later, a waterproof container may be best. However, if not, consider a biodegradable urn: these can be made of paper, cardboard, sand and even salt, among other things.
- Do I have to ask any government agency? No, unlike the burial of a body, you do not have to consult with the government or the Environment Agency.
- One thing to remember when you bury the ashes in the garden is that if you move and do not take the ashes with you, you may not be able to get permission to visit the grave. Be careful!
- It can be difficult to know what to do when burying ashes in a garden to commemorate the occasion. A good idea is to give everyone present a small envelope of wildflower seeds to scatter on the grave.
Burying ashes in a cemetery
Cemetery land is essentially rented. You purchase an “exclusive right of burial” which says that only you can decide who can be buried in that grave for a set period of time (usually 25-100 years). Once the time is up, a reminder letter will be sent to the owner of the exclusive rights of the opportunity to renew.
If the exclusive right of burial is not renewed, the person buried there will not be moved. But any headstones in that plot could be removed, and other people could also be buried in that land.
If you are the sole owner of an exclusive burial right, you may want to take steps to make sure it goes to the right person after your death. You can:
- Transfer or share ownership of the exclusive right of burial during your lifetime.
- Leave instructions in your will as to who should get it.
- Do nothing and understand that ownership of the exclusive right of burial will be passed on to your next of kin. This is usually your spouse, if you have one. Otherwise, it could be shared equally among your children.
If you have inherited an exclusive burial right along with other family members, and you are planning the burial of ashes in an existing grave, you will need the permission of all other owners. This can be a problem if space is limited. However, there is also the option of spreading the ashes on the garden.
How much does a place in the cemetery to bury ashes cost?
To find out the price of a plot in your chosen cemetery, you should contact them directly, you should be able to find a price list on their website.
In addition to the burial fee, you can expect to pay:
- Around $20,000 pesos for a cremation with a funeral home ($ 6,499 pesos with Boinita ).
- Garden maintenance.
- The urn containing the ashes.
- Memorial tablet or plaque.
Prices can be quite different depending on your area! Therefore, it is best to contact suppliers directly to obtain a quotation.
We hope this article will help you in the process of burying ashes. If you have any questions, we’re here to help!

Keeping ashes or cremation urn at home
Many people who wish to be cremated after their death would also like a loved one to keep their ashes at home. And for families, keeping ashes in their home can be a way to maintain the feeling of a close connection to the person who died.
Deciding where to place cremated remains can be complicated. You may be happy to keep the ashes in the house for the rest of your life, or you may only need to store them for a short time before scattering them.
Where to place cremation ashes
Start by choosing your urn carefully. It doesn’t have to be fancy, or even conventional, but it is important to make sure it is large enough to contain the ashes. It also needs to be sealed securely. Beyond that, it’s entirely up to you.
If you don’t plan to keep the ashes in the house forever, the urn given to you by the crematory after cremation may be all you need. Otherwise, there are a wide variety of urns, boxes and other keepsakes available, so it’s just a matter of thinking about what will work best for you.
However, it is worth considering who else might try to touch them. Maybe there are children in your home. Maybe your cat likes to push things off flat surfaces. Or perhaps your family tends to put their coats on a particular piece of furniture, making bumping likely. Try to keep ashes out of reach.
Ideas for storing ashes at home
Keeping an urn at home is quite common for those who choose to keep the ashes of a loved one, but there is no right or wrong way to store them.
If you’re looking for other ash storage ideas, here are a few you might consider:
- Mix the ashes with compost in a pot and plant something. Here, it is a good idea to choose a plant that grows easily and is well adapted to the place where you are storing it. There are also special kits that claim to offer a compost mix that works well with the ashes to grow a tree.
- Keep the ashes in a sculpture. There are indoor and outdoor sculpture urns that you can purchase as an alternative to an urn or box.
- Add ashes to jewelry. The most popular option here is to find subtle “keepsake” jewelry that may contain a small amount of ashes.
- Commissioning a work of art. There are companies that will incorporate your loved one’s ashes into concrete or glass, for sculptures, or paintings.
- Keep the ashes in a discreet place. There are ash containers designed to keep cremated remains at home in a subtle way.
Transfer ashes to a new container for home storage
If you need to move ashes to a new container, here are some tips:
- Consider asking for help. Ashes can be heavy, and you may need someone to keep the containers lined up.
- Place the target containers on a flat surface with newspaper.
- Use a funnel to keep things neat and accurate.
- Seal one container tightly before starting the next.
Other ways to store ashes after cremation.

Difference between a traditional, simple funeral and a simple cremation?
You may have seen that your chosen funeral home offers both traditional and simple funerals and in other cases such as Boinita simple cremation. But what do these terms mean and what is the real difference between these options? Let’s see…
What is the difference between traditional and simple funerals?
A simple funeral is a more economical and simpler approach to a traditional funeral. While traditional funerals include many of the standard services you might expect a funeral home to provide, simple funerals omit the less essential services and provide you with the most important ones in a lower cost format.
What that means in practice will depend on your funeral home (they will have their own way of doing things), but below we detail what you can generally expect from traditional and simple funerals.
What is a traditional funeral?
A traditional funeral service tends to follow this structure:
- Viewing: a period of 1-2 days during which the family can visit the deceased at the funeral home.
- Service: a funeral service held at a place of worship, funeral home, crematory or graveside. This includes any other ceremony (depending on the religion).
- Burial or cremation: After the service, burial or cremation will take place. In case of burial, friends and relatives may go in procession to the cemetery. The rental of a hearse and limousine to follow in the procession is usually included in a traditional funeral.
In addition, all these services are included:
- All funeral home fees
- Burial or cremation fees (including doctor’s fees)
- Classic hearse or hearse
- A wood veneer coffin
- A chest of wooden ashes
- A limousine
- Celebrant / religious representative
- A standard flower arrangement
How much does a traditional funeral cost?
The familiarity of a traditional funeral can offer much comfort and peace of mind at a difficult time. That said, the average cost of a traditional funeral in Mexico is $40,000 pesos or more. This can often be reduced by shopping around and finding the best funeral service that fits your budget.
What is a simple funeral?
Simple funerals have approximately the same structure as traditional funerals, but at a more affordable price. However, you may have to make some compromises:
- The funeral home will generally choose the time and date of a simple funeral service. This means it will probably be early in the morning.
- May not include after-hours pickup. You may have to wait until normal business hours before the deceased can be taken to the funeral home.
- A less decorative casket or ashes container. A simple wooden coffin, for example.
- There are no additional funeral cars or limousines. Close relatives usually make their way to and from the funeral.
- Less or no flowers. Funeral homes offer smaller, less elaborate floral arrangements for simple funerals.
- The wake may be held at home or at a friend’s home. This helps save on the cost of the venue and catering, especially if friends help by bringing food and drink.
In addition, all these services are included:
- Funeral home fees
- Burial or cremation fees (including doctor’s fees)
- Hearses
- A simple wooden coffin
- A simple ash container
How much does a simple funeral cost?
Simple funerals are the cheapest and most basic type of funeral. A simple funeral usually costs around $20,000 pesos. Costs will vary depending on how simple the funeral really is and where it is located.
What is a simple cremation?
The last option is the “direct” or simple cremation, which covers a cremation without a funeral service. Direct cremation in particular is becoming increasingly popular: At Boinita we pick up the person who has passed away, and the cremation is performed without anyone present. The ashes are then returned to the family within a few hours, who can then hold their own memorial service as they see fit.
This service includes:
- Crematorium fees
- Transportation of your loved one
- Cremation
- A beautiful wooden urn
- The return of the ballot box to your home
- Formalities and taxes
How much does a simple cremation cost?
Simple cremations are the least expensive funeral service and one of the most requested. This service in Boinita costs only $ 6,499 pesos. And it is a fixed price with no extra charge. For more information go to Boinita‘s home page.
When it comes to the type of service you would like yourself, if you have strong feelings either way, your best option is to take out a funeral plan or life insurance and specify within it whether you want a simple, traditional service or a simple cremation.
Remember that Boinita is a Simple Cremation Service without a Funeral Service with the guarantee of the best price and service.

Is it a good idea to pay for a funeral plan this 2020?
For those who wish to plan ahead, paying for a funeral plan can be an excellent way to ensure that you are financially prepared for the costs associated with burial and cremation services. While there are other alternatives, such as life insurance, or investing, we will explore them all below.
What is a funeral plan?
A funeral plan sets aside a funeral at today’s prices. With a funeral plan, you pay a pre-established amount of money to cover the cost of your future funeral services, the full amount of which is released at the time of your death to cover all agreed-upon expenses.
This protects the client from the annual price and fee increases we are currently seeing in the funeral industry. With the price of a funeral rising much faster than inflation, the average funeral is expected to be a financial hardship for many families.
What are the advantages of a funeral package?
In addition to setting aside your funeral at current prices, a funeral plan gives you greater control over the details of your funeral.
It also gives you the opportunity to choose your preferred funeral home, ensuring that your funeral is not in the hands of someone you have not directly approved.
What does a funeral plan usually include?
They usually do not cover all funeral costs, but most will include:
- Funeral home fees. This would generally include collecting the deceased, transporting them to the funeral, arranging the funeral service, paperwork, and basic care of the deceased (washing and dressing them, for example).
- The coffin. This could be a simple, inexpensive casket or a more elaborate wooden casket.
- Hearse or hearse. Basic plans will generally include the cost of hiring a hearse to take the deceased person to his or her funeral and to the cemetery or crematory. You may also be offered additional funeral cars or limousines for the family at an additional cost.
- The flowers, the cremation or burial.
- Administrative expenses. Most providers will charge an administrative fee for their work in setting up the plan.
- Cancellation fees. Some providers will charge you if you wish to cancel your funeral plan at a later date.
It is important to check the fine print of any funeral plan you purchase to make sure what is covered and what is not.
Because funeral plan providers cannot control all the costs involved in a funeral, your family may have to pay a little more when the time comes. But the plan must cover all or most of the services you will need.
How do funeral packages work?
You can purchase a funeral plan by paying in advance or in installments. The money goes into a fund with an insurance policy, which will be used to pay for the service when the time comes.
Depending on where you purchase your funeral plan, you may be asked to choose between different packages. A higher cost package could include more funeral cars, a more decorative casket and potentially more flexibility with the time and date of the funeral.
Can you pay for funerals monthly in advance?
A funeral service plan saves your family the stress of planning and paying for your funeral by arranging everything in advance.
Most pay-as-you-go funeral plans cost between $20,000 and $80,000 pesos on average, and cover any funeral costs that are under the provider’s control.
Questions to ask your funeral plan provider
If you are interested in purchasing a funeral plan, the questions you should ask a provider are:
- What costs are not included in my funeral plan?
- Is it possible to cancel or modify the plan if circumstances change?
- Is there a cancellation fee?
- What happens if there are outstanding payments at the time of death?
- Do I have to use a certain funeral company?
- Can the family make changes to the funeral if they wish?
- What happens if death occurs abroad?
- Is there a clear complaints procedure?
- What happens if the Funeral Home closes?
- If you wish to have the funeral in another state or municipality, is it possible?
What are the alternatives to a funeral package?
Insurance Policies
Advantages Life insurance policies.
Lifetime protection for age 50 and over will pay an agreed amount at the time of death. This means that it may go some way toward covering funeral costs, depending on how comprehensive your coverage is. It is often the best option because your family receives a larger amount than a funeral home package would cover.
Disadvantages Life insurance policies.
Funeral plans require you to pay a fixed amount, while life insurance requires a regular payment until the time of death. Depending on how long you live, there can be a big difference between these two figures.
Life insurance costs can also be extremely high if you have pre-existing health conditions, whereas this is irrelevant in a funeral plan.
Funeral plans also allow for much greater control and put all important decisions in your hands. With some insurance products, you may not even have a say in whether you want to be buried or cremated.
Savings and investment accounts
Most savings accounts do not generate much interest at this time, but you can always set aside a portion of your savings to pay for funeral expenses. Other alternatives, such as investing money, can help pay for funeral expenses.

How to reduce funeral costs in Mexico?
Funerals can cost much more than people expect and it is not uncommon for family members of the deceased to pay up to $80,000 for a funeral service. With many factors to consider, such as burial fees, flowers, transportation, paperwork, niches and reception, costs can begin to mount, which can put a family under financial strain in a time of distress.
Fortunately, there are several ways to reduce funeral costs and keep expenses manageable. Here we take a look at five of the best ways to limit the amount of money you spend on a funeral.
Burial and cremation fees
Burial and cremation fees can often be one of the most expensive aspects of a funeral. This is particularly true in downtown areas where space is at a premium. Alternatives to keep costs down may include the choice of natural burial or direct cremation.
A natural burial involves a burial in a protected area with a beautiful garden where the deceased are returned to the earth in the most natural way possible. It is generally considered much better for the environment.
Similarly, you may opt for a simple cremation. This occurs outside of peak crematory hours and mourners cannot be present at the cremation. The ashes are returned to the family after the service. This is much cheaper than the classic burial or cremation options and any money you save can be used to remember the deceased through a suitable memorial service organized by the family.
Coach or limousine transportation
It is often considered traditional to have limousines driving to the funeral service. However, this is a matter of personal preference and can certainly reduce funeral costs if you reduce transportation.
Depending on where the service takes place, the family can make its own way, allowing the money to be spent in more essential areas. It may happen that funeral directors exert a little pressure in an effort to convince you that optional extras such as transportation are essential for a proper funeral. However, the choice should be left up to you to decide what you do and do not want for the funeral, and remember that your choice in this matter is final.
El Velorio
If you wish to hold a wake or memorial service, there are several ways to reduce costs. There is no right or wrong way, so do what you think is best and try to plan within your means.
Instead of hiring a large venue, the wake can be held at the home of the deceased or at the home of a family member. Similarly, the responsibility for the meal can be shared among all the guests, and everyone brings a dish to share.
Fundraising or Crowdfunding
A more modern way to reduce funeral costs is through the use of crowdfunding. Instead of one family member or part of the family assuming full financial responsibility, those who knew the deceased can donate to help cover expenses.
This can be a fantastic way to cover the cost of a funeral and bring people together to remember the deceased. When everyone has invested something, no matter how small, there is often a sense of greater participation in the proceedings among all those present. This also makes it possible for family and friends living abroad to feel involved and contribute to the funeral.
Use a comparison site
Finally, one of the best ways to reduce funeral costs is by using a price comparison site. You can save time and money, and this can greatly simplify the planning process, allowing you to take full control of the funeral you are looking to arrange.
Plan ahead
If you have the luxury of time before you or a loved one passes away, you may want to consider taking out a funeral plan or life insurance.
Take out a monthly payment plan
While a financing plan actually increases the final cost of your funeral, many find it more manageable to pay your funeral costs over the course of a year or two, rather than paying it up front. When you take out a month-to-month plan you can manage your payments, and if you are waiting for your inheritance to arrive, this credit can make a lot of sense.
