5 HACKS FOR A POCKET-FRIENDLY FAREWELL
1. TAILOR THE FAREWELL
Think about what the departed would've wanted. Traditional or casual? If a chapel feels too formal, try a direct cremation. Shift the focus from the funeral to a post-cremation celebration. Your money, your rules – spend it on a memorable wake or a unique memorial.
