i hear nga you'd have to pay ABANG/RENT for every 5 years nga naka lubong imong loved one which is around 8k (i think) and you have to pay for the CASKET which would cost you at least 7-10k (kana nang pinaka bati pa), you'd pay the FUNERAL HOMES at least around 6K for 3 days (that is if you choose to have you loved one's wake at their room which would cost you around 2K a day), not to mention each day you have to pay for food, kape, pan ug mga juice ranging up to at leat a thousand pesos... all in all you would spend around 25K pesos AT LEAST! now that's a lot of hoooplah!
would you want your family to carry that burden of spending that much money for your traditional funeral wake and burial??
whereas with CREMATION, you'd only spend for the VASE which will cost you around at least 500pesos (depende ra if ganahan kag mahalon but what they say is adto ka makapalit ana sa SM department store ky daghan ug kapiliian nga style ug design with cover... you can even use your table flower vase for Pete's sake!) you can BORROW a CASKET from the funeral parlor after the embalming to display you loved one 1 to 3 days before cremation WHERE you can choose to be at your home and not spend on rent this would be so that you can save from paying for the CASKET, this is because they'll just take the dead out of the casket and into the furnace to save you a lot of money..now, for the furnace fee, some funeral parlors can refer you to this place in consolacion (i forgot the name of the establishment this is in Cebu by the by) where you'd just pay 2K for the TRANSPORTATION fee (depending where your loved one's destinations are) and around 10-15K for the CREMATION totalling to around 12-17K.. that's not so bad right?
so you read this people and maybe you might be enlightened... but as for religion's sake, i would be more than happy of being closer to my loved ones by being at home, pwede pa nako sila pang ungo.on hehehehehe =D
