$6500 dollars is the average cost and that doesnt include the cemetary costs (the opening and closing of the grave), that vary from place to place. so you may have to add $300-$1000 more to that $6500 figure.

Between $100,000 - 250,000 US dollars, but many insurance companies will pay for it. There are also other ways to cover the cost for the transplant, you should discuss this with the hospital social worker or your doctor. You should also keep in mind expenses to the family for such things as extensive lodging, meals, loss of income . . making the total cost much higher. \n\nNational Bone Marrow: Frequently asked Questions\nhttp://www.nbmtlink.org/faq.asp

Maybe I'm just out there, but I don't see what is wrong with sending money. To me it beats sending a flower arrangement or fruit basket that they already may have many of. Money can get very tight around funerals and there after. A little extra cash can help lighten the load on the people that have to make all the arrangements and/or have lost a source of income in the person that passed away.

My friends grandfather did it for free. He volunteered his time. I'm guessing that a staff writer at a local paper who is responsible for obituaries makes around $35,000 a year.

Going to the funeral is a sign of respect to the departed. Her family and loved ones need all the spiritual support that they can get. You did love her once.Release the pain and join them to celebrate her life. Respect her in death.

$100,000 minimum---How much do they charge for a heart or lung operation these days---Actually with the ever rising cost of funerals and end of life hospital and nursing care it would be kind of nice to be able to have your body parts sold to pay for the expenses. As it is you can donate your parts and people all along the way seem to be able charge for them.  After all the doctors charge a fortune to install used body parts. But everybody would claim it was unethcial. I here in some countries they have a black market for body parts. http://www.american.edu/TED/body.htm

I'm sorry to hear about your uncle.  If you're planning to travel by plane, just call the airline you plan to use and ask if they offer bereavement rates.   I know they give pretty hefty discounts for those family members travelling to funerals.  Perhaps they do the same for those precisely in your situation.  \n\nGood luck, and God bless.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I lost a good friend in a motorcycle accident last summer. He too was an organ donor and that at least brings a little light into the situation.\n\nI'd recommend you speak with a social worker at the hospital where your son died. It's not uncommon to hold fundraisers that will help defray the cost of funeral expenses and a good social worker can help you get started.  You may also want to contact Life Connection to see if they can help you with covering the funeral expenses. Many organ donors are young people whose families simply are not prepared for final expenses that come at such an early age.\n\nAs for long-term wealth, it's harder to give advice but I'd recommend reading the book "The Millionaire Next Door" (link below).  It is very practical advice for building wealth on a variety of salaries. It is not a get-rich-quick thing but it's a good guide for the "rest" of us.

A guy and his family went to visit the Resurrection place of Jesus.  His mother-in-law passed away.  The funeral director advised this guy to go with the $50 burial instead of $5000 transport the dead body back to the States.  The guy replied, 'No, thanks.  I'll pay the $5000'.  The funeral director was perplex and asked why.  The guy replied; 'Remember the last guy that die here and came back to life 3 days later?  Yeah, I'm not taking any chance'.  The end.

Depends on which country you are in.  In the UK, an executor is bound to carry out the wishes of the deceased.  All expenses and costs may be reclaimed from the estate but no costs to their own benefit may be requested.

No, your next of kin just has much more to pay for your funeral/burial.

that's pretty simple. Just ask whoever is in charge at the cemetery. They should know the answer. You could also plant a tree of remembrance in your own yard. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your difficult time.

You can ask one of your friends to get ordained by the state. You'd have to check  with your state to see how much the fee is. You could make it special by having a close relative or family friend do it and offer to pay the fee.

Well that's up to the kids. Do you mean as far as a burial or cremation? I mean what are you asking? If the person had nothing when they died there is nothing for the kids to get but debt when they bury them. If the Kids don't want to do that the state will put them in a paupers grave some place.
