At the time of his death, they we're divorced. I told my kids to cremate me so they won't have to feel guilty for not visiting my grave. My youngest daughter told me what kind of funeral she would like, I told her to start saving. LolCommendable of you to take over the payments especially when supporting the cost to raise a child by yourself. Understandable that with 8 siblings putting away money for what we all know is going to happen wasn't likely.
Curious though why wouldn't your mother want to be buried next to her husband?
As a last gift to our kids. Prepaid cremation, the $50.00 cardboard box to cremate a person in & side by side plots translate into our kids not wondering what needs to be taken care of. They all know where the paperwork is, they know our wishes so there is no chance for the cremation to turn into a last minute emotional appeal for something more costly. Loss of a loved one isn't easy but to compound the loss by burdening them with debt too never seemed right.
