I am sorry to hear about your son. We just buried my Mum and it cost $7350 including a beautiful red cedar casket ( she loved red cedar - although I accept the casket was probably pine stained to red cedar!) on the other hand my cousin was married to a wonderful Italian guy and he recently passed away. His funeral was $50000 plus. Marble etc etc. Personal preferences.
Thankyou. It is a long time ago now since i saw his beautiful face & smile. I'm sorry for the loss of your Mum too,:rose: it's never easy to lose those we love.
Yes funerals aren't cheap, and wow $50,000 plus is a ton of money. But it depends on how much people can afford and sometimes even a very basic funeral costs a lot depending on finances.
