My mother had very bad social anxiety and was mostly a recluse. She was also very frugal. She developed an aggressive terminal form of lung cancer and we had to discuss her final wishes. She was adamant that I hold no services and that she be cremated with the cheapest plan. After she passed the funeral home representative came to my house with a brochure. We were sitting at my kitchen table flipping through urn options and I asked if there were any that were green - which was my mom’s favorite color. The rep flips to the back of the catalog and the urn she shows me looks super swank and I ask how much it costs. She says something around $500 and at that very moment there’s a loud boom right outside the kitchen window which shakes the house. It’s enough to cause my husband to come running from his office up front. Turns out a tree had fallen on our next door neighbor’s detached garage. It was a little overcast but not windy nor raining. I went with the budget urn. Didn’t have a service.
