Well dang, thanks for all the great responses He does have a will. I believe it's in his safe? There will be no Urn. His ashes will be spread right where the house stood where he was born. So, for the very simplest way, can it be done for a grand$. He's accepted this and is at peace with himself. Thanks everyone.

Just lost my dad. Similar in that he didn't want any fuss. Specifically told us no funeral, just cremation.
He had a hospice nurse visiting the house for a few days before he passed. We called hospice first, after he passed. They came out right away and did some paperwork, distroyed his medications, and just verified that he had passed - not that we had any question.
We then called the funeral home and they were at the house within half an hour. They handled everything from that point on. We told them no funeral, no casket, just cremation. They took his body and I went with my mom to the funeral home the next day to sign the paperwork and write the check. That meeting was valuable. In 30 minutes they explained everything we needed to know. Total cost was $1400 for just a cremation. We picked up his ashes a few days later.
The family got together at my mom's house the next weekend and we just hung out for the afternoon. Not really a service, not really a wake. Roughly 20 of us.
My parents had already purchased a grave site and it was at our little country church. I dug the hole with a post hole digger and buried the ashes myself. We ordered a headstone that isn't finished yet. I'll set it when it's done.

If it were me I would do what I could to make sure your Dad has his wishes upheld. I would think if you could find a crematorium only and no funeral home you could save money. Anything to do with a funeral home is greatly overpriced. I would love to have my ashes put in a fire pit at my favorite campsite. I could be wrong, but I believe you can get cremated for around $1000 around here. They put uour ashes in a cardboard box to give back to the family. Again, prayers for your dad!!

Anything done by a funeral home will be spendy. Find out where/who does the cremations in your area, they will fetch the remains, take care of the process and return him to you. If you're gonna spread his ash's in some special place, you don't need a fancy box. Usually the $255 from SSI will cover the expense.

Thank you ALL!.
My brother is gonna come this weekend. The 2 of us are gonna go have "the talk" with dad. We are hoping he's got a plan and I "think" he does.
One thing I'm hearing(learning) is... Funeral homes seem to have a license to steal? Thanks again you all. Helps ease my mind.

I don't know if this applies, but, as Cliffy might say: " It's a little known fact that...
FEMA to Help Pay Funeral Costs for COVID-19-Related Deaths Release Date Release Number March 24, 2021 HQ-21-071 Release Date: March 24, 2021 WASHINGTON -- In early April, FEMA will begin providing financial assistance for funeral expenses incurred after Jan. 20, 2020 for deaths related to coronavirus (COVID-19) to help ease some of the financial stress and burden caused by the pandemic. The policy was finalized today, and FEMA is now moving rapidly to implement this funeral assistance program nationwide.
"At FEMA, our mission is to help people before, during and after disasters," said Acting FEMA Administrator Bob Fenton. “The COVID-19 pandemic has caused immense grief for so many people. Although we cannot change what has happened, we affirm our commitment to help with funeral and burial expenses that many families did not anticipate."
To be eligible for COVID-19 funeral assistance, the policy states:
The applicant must be a U.S. citizen, non-citizen national, or qualified alien who incurred funeral expenses after Jan. 20, 2020 for a death attributed to COVID-19. If multiple individuals contributed toward funeral expenses, they should apply under a single application as applicant and co-applicant. FEMA will also consider documentation from other individuals not listed as the applicant and co-applicant who may have incurred funeral expenses as part of the registration for the deceased individual. An applicant may apply for multiple deceased individuals. The COVID-19-related death must have occurred in the United States, including the U.S. territories and the District of Columbia. This assistance is limited to a maximum financial amount of $9,000 per funeral and a maximum of $35,500 per application. Funeral assistance is intended to assist with expenses for funeral services and interment or cremation. In the coming weeks, a dedicated 800 number will be established to help individuals who apply. In the meantime, potential applicants are encouraged to start gathering the following documentation:
An official death certificate that attributes the death to COVID-19 and shows that the death occurred in the United States. The death certificate must indicate the death “may have been caused by” or “was likely the result of” COVID-19 or COVID-19-like symptoms. Similar phrases that indicate a high likelihood of COVID-19 are considered sufficient attribution. Funeral expense documents (receipts, funeral home contract, etc.) that include the applicant’s name, the deceased individual’s name, the amount of funeral expenses and dates the funeral expenses were incurred. Proof of funds received from other sources specifically for use toward funeral costs. Funeral assistance may not duplicate benefits received from burial or funeral insurance, financial assistance received from voluntary agencies, federal/state/local/tribal/territorial government programs or agencies, or other sources. For more information about this assistance, visit COVID-19 Funeral Assistance | FEMA.gov.

Call the funeral home…they will come and get him….they will do the cremation…and hand you the Ern…Did this for my dad,and he just wanted to be buried at the Veterans Cemetery…plain and simple…the way he wanted it. No Funeral ,no wake, …Cuz he said he hated going to them. This. We just went through this in August for my dad. The funeral home handled everything. Cremation, urn, obit and military flag and plaque. Cost was around $5k in PA.
