One More Reason to Pre-Plan Your Funeral and to Consider Cremation

3. Right on point

I have been through this process three times (my paternal grandma when I was helping my dad because he was failing from cancer, my dad, and my maternal grandma). All three in Huntington WVa. It is an insanely expensive process especially getting my grandma from Iowa to West Virginia.

For my grandma I took the money she had in her savings account when she went on Medicaid LTC and created a burial trust. I did it to protect her assets. It also locked in prices. Still there was a marker (I used a 3rd party for that because of cost and ability to match to my grandpa's marker).

I will say the Funeral Home did me right. There were no extra charges even though the first company they contracted with to handle the remains bailed.

My wife and I have already agreed to cheapest cremation. My mom wants that as well.
