My remains to be scattered over the waves. On a day when the waves are really nice!

All of my pets have been buried in my yard by me, never cremated. I really never understood why I need an urn of my pet's remains over just knowing where they lay "at rest". I realize everyone's different in how they view these matters, so no disrespect intended.

Anyway I was looking at a local business website that handles cremations:
https://cremationservicesdaytonabeach.com/

Looks like their basic price is $795 - I supply my own container -or- $845 - with their cardboard container

Plus additional fees as needed:

I guess I can call and get more info but in the meantime wondering how some of the folks here are handling things wrt cremation.

Make arrangements ahead of time and pre-pay?

I don't have a significant other or children.

We've had a couple of our pups cremated. I then scatter them somewhere.

I'm game for being cremated. I'm not going to feel it or care. I wouldn't care if I was buried other than that it's a waste of money and space. Stick me in a pine box and reduce me to ash (or a cardboard box since it's being burned).
