Rose, I am confused; do you want to bury him (casket) or cremate him? My husband was cremated for $1,000 (and my husband's first wife's boyfriend was around $2,000 but she had a church service and fancy urn, etc.); no casket, no etc. We got the ashes (tasteful "box") and then did whatever.

I would look for low-cost crematoriums in your area if that's the route you want to go, rather than go through funeral homes which have to up the price/add on for their services, etc. https://www.everplans.com/articles/5...rect-cremation
