Content: It's important to remember that the cost of a service has no relationship with how much a person was loved or will be missed. In fact, heaps of Aussies don't want an expensive send-off. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to reduce costs while still having a respectful send-off. Avoid peak times. Weekend services can be more expensive than funerals held on a weekday. Choose a cremation. Burials are more expensive than cremations. Reduce extras. Keep flowers, funeral cars and newspaper notices to a minimum. Compare providers.
