Hey everyone, I just want to thank you for taking the time to read this and say thank you to those who have helped already. My mom passed away recently, I don't have any family to turn to and I'm just trying to get help from those can help. Thank you in advance for your help and kind words. If you can help please send me a PM or text me. If you can't help financially ok just praying for me and your kind words is also very much appreciated!

FYI I have decided on cremation services as it's what my mom asked for and is cheaper.

They were the least expensive when I had to take care of my parents. Much cheaper as it is direct. It was less than. $800.

ss pays for cremation. Lump sum of 255. There are requirements and an application process. Google it

Cremation under 800 is a good deal. I paid 1300 at brown colonial morturary in santa ana back in 2020 and 2021. Maybe higher now. I then talked to someone later who offered 500 but I forgot their info

Yeah I spoke to someone from the place alodar mentioned and because of the area they are in vs where I am it would have been more than $800. And I spoke to someone over the phone with SS and they said they don't cover the cost of funeral/ cremation but they do give the 255. I did a lot of Google searching and calling places and writing everything down for each place i called and decided to go with Tulipcremations because of the payment plan option they offer and me losing 2 incomes just fit better for my situation.

No offense to anyone here who may feel differently.
It has been my observation that the funeral industry takes advantage of peoples sorrow and possible feelings of guilt. You are trying to do the best you can for your loved ones. However, I really doubt that those loved ones would want you to go deep in debt because of them.
I have no doubt that you will always hold fond memories no matter what you spend.
Don't let this become something that is more of a burden than it should be.

All that being said, I'm very sorry for your loss. Hold on to your fond memories.

startgolfbob Thank you very much and yes I agree it should not cost thousands of dollars To have a funeral or a burial or for cremation. They should be reasonably priced. From my personal experience which was horrible calling around just for cremation services compared to funeral services some of these people at these places have no heart because some of the people were very rude to me. But I found tulip cremation and that was a relief for me once I spoke with them and looked at their website, no bad experience with them thus far.

I really miss my mom.
