Funeral by Donation

Ever been told that you must use a funeral home? That you must embalm, or use a hearse? Is 6 ft deep really required in your state? Must you actually spend thousands and thousands...NO!

Here in Texas I found a church/cemetary that will accept your loved one based on a DONATION! They do request that you make a specific donation, yet will allow a burial with little or no funds. The donation is to cover their overhead...non-profit organization, etc.
Well in a nut shell it is a green funeral...no casket of metal, wooden or cardboard box is ok or shroud. No embalming....etc.
Wow what a blessing this has been since my brother had died not long ago!

Found these links by doing a search of the words, "cheap burial'.

whilst I sympathise with your loss , I can't help but wonder if they can do my mother - in - law, She ain't dead yet though.

Geez, what can I say?

I waw told by a Funeral home that they would pick up the body for $400.00 to transport it 200 mile here. I inquired if they used some exotic new fuel as it would only run me the cost of around $80.00 round trip.
Their reply was that they used, "Liscened Professionals"...
I told them accourding to the Statutes of Texas regarding burial and transportation of bodies...all that is required is the death certificate and a transport issue writ from a Justice of the Court, fee amount under $20.00...so I'd just pick him up myself from the morgue.

See they try and STICK it to you in your time of grief if you dont know any better!
