There's this great thing on the web nowadays called 'E-Bay'

Apparantly it's good for selling stuff.

They don't have to cost a fortune though, many people opt for the cheapest option available for various reasons. For instance, my mum was an agnostic, whatever one of them is, For her funeral her original idea was to be cremated in a cardboard coffin without any fuss. Jut taken the crematorium in the back of an estate car and job done. I did manage to convince my dad and sister that it would be more appropriate to actually have a Hearse for this but this was the only concession that was allowed. No funeral director, no pall bearers, just the car and driver. Only one wreath. Because my parents were both retired and my mother was on disability benifit from a hospital cock up, There was a grant available for the funeral so it cost us nothing at all.
