ok Nat--heres a fact. my (jw) dad passed away in january 2016. i organised the funeral:
doctors attendance fee to confirm death and issue death certificate--he died in a care home
funeral directors charge for one hearse with 4 pall bearers. 1 basic coffin
crematorium fee.
funeral director said a few words. there was no service at all --.just the committal.
there were 5 of us present.
total cost--£3,000 plus some small change. thats pounds sterling--not dollars.
thats the way it is in the UK. most funerals will cost double that.
