Funeral Consumers Alliance

I am wondering what the very basic funeral would cost today and what it would include. We prepayed a funeral, with everything including the rental of a large room for viewing and service and a light green metal casket, fifteen years ago for the price $4,000. At that time my father had many friends and we wanted to make sure every one had an opportunity to say good bye. Now, all my father's friends have pre-deceased him. It's only a few family members left. All we need is is the body taken care of and prepared for burial in a very cheap casket and then his service and burial is free through the Veterans.
