Organising A Simple Funeral With Dignity And Respect

Nobody wants to think about death before it happens

, and we are hesitant to talk about it when it does occur. It is understandable that when someone who is close to us loses a loved one our conversation turns to our memories of the deceased, not the finer details of how to conduct the burial or cremation.

Nevertheless the funeral is an essential part of almost every bereavement process, and at some point along the way somebody will need to speak to someone about how it will be organised.

For a whole lot of people one of the most difficult parts of the whole process is paying the basic funeral costs. If one has no savings or income and the deceased was not insured then the cost can be prohibitive, and the worry comes just at that very time when one really least needs it. Those who are able to turn to friends or family for help are fortunate, but those others who are left facing a substantial bill often find themselves in a state of considerable anxiety.

Many of the services provided by undertakers are essential, the costs of some indeed are statutory. However in many other cases some of the duties performed might be considered superfluous by those who are on a limited budget.

Then follows too the inevitable sense of guilt that we are somehow not doing our best for somebody we dearly loved and letting them down because we are in some way scrimping on the send-off that we are giving them as they embark on their final journey.

The solution must be a low-cost undertaker service that performs the essential work in a dignified and solemn manner without adding expensive peripheral services that even our departed loved one wouldnt have wanted us to commit our hard-earned money to. A budget funeral service that combines economy with dignity, and prudence with respect.

Low cost funerals are not always, as one may assume, a contradiction in terms. One established company in London, for example, performs social funerals with a clearly defined set of functions for less than one thousand pounds, and this in a market where even a modest funeral service by one of the big established providers with a hearse and a family car might cost some three times that amount.

The object of the exercise is to provide an honest and dignified service shorn of the frills but including all the essential aspects of a proper funeral service.

Bereaved loved ones and family members on a low income need nothing less than the worry of how they are going to pay for this essential but typically expensive undertaking. The affordable budget funeral is the obvious solution and one hopes it is a concept that will catch on, not just in London but throughout the UK.
