Sadly a lot of people cannot afford the high costs of a funeral which can be as high as $8,000.00 to $12,000.00 for the funeral.

Sometimes though you can find cheaper funerals so check around different funeral homes because sometimes you may find a smaller funeral home willing to do a simple funeral for around $2,000.00 or cremation for as low as $100.00 to $300.00

But if you still can't afford the cost of a funeral or cremation you can sign a form with the coroner which states that you cannot afford to bury or cremate the body and they will take care of the burial or cremation free of charge.
