Cremation Costs are Typically Lower Than Burials
My uncle is a person who is very frugal. He never spends money if he does not need to do so. That means that he is always looking for the cheapest and most economical way to do what he needs to do. He has recently been making arrangements for his remains after his death, and he told me that he wants me to personlly scatter his ashes. He told me that he might rather be buried, but the cremation cost estimate was much less than the burial costs he was quoted. I have to admire how well he adheres to his convictions.
