So, my Aunt Carol? I told her to stop watching crime documentaries and start making a simple, upfront plan. “Pure cremation a month” is a fake question—but the real answer is doable.
You can finance it for about the cost of a dinner date (or two, depending on the restaurant). Just don’t let anyone sell you a “Cremation Club” membership with a free tote bag. You’re not a subscriber; you’re a customer making a one-time purchase.
And if you really want to save money, remember: you can always ask a friend to scatter your ashes from a kayak. That’s free. (Just make sure they wear a life jacket—irony is a cruel mistress.)
