<prompt> Human: Im wondering if there are any govt or private programs that would help cover funeral costs. My grandma passed away on Thursday and she didnt have life insurance to cover the funeral costs. She did have the plot paid for, but not the burialvault. That is going to be around 1450. She was against cremation, so we need to respect her wishes on that. We found a casket on line for 900. My wife knows a funeral director so we are getting a discount on the embalmingtransport, which is another 1000. She has around 800 in her checking account, but no one else is on the account. Im assuming that those funds will get tied up in probate. She was receiving my grandpas military benefits and ss benefits. Does any one know of ways to pay for this? I get its not much, but we dont have anything set aside for this. If I pay for it, my bills dont get paid. Reddit always has good ideas, what do you all think? Assistant: How much does it cost to get cremated?Because to be extremely blunt about it... shes dead. She doesnt know whats happening to her body anymore.Human: Trust me, we have thought about that. She was adamant about no cremation. She actually moved her sons body to be buried next to grandpa and bought a plot so they could all be buried together.  <response>: Not to be insensitive here, but cremains can totally be buried too. Its not necessarily an either or. Im sorry for your loss, OP.
