Great post!
It is so difficult in these times just to make ends meet. It seems so many Tradition minded Catholics have no excess of funds. What is one to do when you have no extra to provide for one's burial?
I've heard of funeral insurance.  Not sure if it's worth it, but it's cheaper than life insurance.  I'd ask someone in your life who knows about finance to give you their opinion.

Because cremation is looking good $ wise, there are plots to be bought at lower prices.  Buy from an owner who wants cremation and not their plot.  The price is still high, but lower.

We had to bury our daughter.  Thank God we bought a double plot at $550. in 1987, today they sell for $9000.  Those plots are being sold for $6000. reduced. 

In Scotland, you can not be buried, only cremated, and other regions are saying cremation, unless you already own a plot.

This is a great idea, in that you can finance the funeral and precisely control the arrangements with such insurance.
The financial instrument is actually a mini whole life insurance policy, usually of low amount ($5, 10, 15K) and underwriting is minimal.
There are 3rd party consumer advocate agencies you can work with to keep the cost of funeral services competitive.

I hope our resident mortician will make his contribution to this thread. Can't think of his name right now.
