How does a family with almost nothing cover the sky-high costs of a funeral?

Where are the affordable solutions for families like ours that don’t have deep pockets for exorbitant funeral fees?

Years before founding Perth Cremations, my family struggled with these very questions. After years of battling illnesses and multiple cancers, my mother’s savings were depleted, along with ours. We were faced with arranging her funeral with little to no funds available to us without having to take a bank loan or plead for financial assistance from friends and relatives.
We resorted to scaling back on Mum’s Funeral.

Although it has been several years since her departure, we still wish we were able to honour and respect her life by providing her with the funeral service she deserved.
