You should speak with a funeral home in London and ask them about their prices. It's possible to pre-plan your own funeral in the US, there's probably a similar system there. So, go talk to someone that runs a funeral home to get a price quote.

The funeral is paid for by the government of course.  The television coverage costs are picked up by the networks which is paid for by advertising revenue.

As I recall, the price went to about .75 to .85 per gallon.  This was about the time I went off to college and I remember thinking how hard it was going to be to make my $ stretch.

Ok...a casket can be cremated with a body. But I always thought it was kind of silly, considering they arent cheap. \nOur crematory used cardboard boxes...we would fold them up around the deceadent. The plastic bags are wrapped around the body for transportation and for "waiting" in the cooler. If the person is bagged we burn the bag with them. \nThey have "rental" caskets that have the "liner" (particle board) . They cover the board with satin to give it a nice look. When the service is done they remove the liner, and then it is transported to the crematory.\nThe only time we remove a deceadent from a casket is if said casket is metal. Then we CAN NOT reuse the casket. So we generally beat it with a sledge hammer and put it out for proper disposal.\nI saw a 14, 000 dollar casket thrown into the retort once. The chambers are quite big, so generally the size doesnt matter. But there is a lot of wood ash in the cremains, which gives them a black/grey tint.
