Least expensive method to bury someone

My ex wife and the mother of my daughter is in intensive care and conceivably could pass away. She put me as the emergency contact. She doesn't have any immediate family left to take care of things. So my question is what do I do if the hospital tells me she passed away. Basically what I'm asking is what is the least expensive way to handle it while maintaining some dignity. I'm thinking cremation and a small service in an extended family member's home. Does that sound correct?

That would work.
Some funeral homes offer facilities with minimal frills. But that would be more than a family member's home....with people bringing a dish.

I’m going through a divorce now and I’d let this count rot away in the hospital if that’s an option.

Cremation and small service is likely going to be your cheapest. And honestly, if she really doesn't have anyone left that makes a lot of sense.

Shovels cost like $60

Cremation is the cheapest option. You're a good man to take this on for an ex, you obviously loved/love her. Best of luck.

Is there a Vons around there?

Note to self: re-evaluate who you put as emergency contact.
Not so much about the price.
Moreso about the spirit.

Whatever you do, you should make sure your daughter is on board with it.

One of my uncles was the epitome of “not want to bother you.” Pine box, no embalming and instructions for no service and no gravesite service. His sisters followed his instructions but his ex pastor in hicks found out he was being buried he insisted on speaking. The 3 sisters each told him to keep it short. He spoke about 3 minutes and asked us nephews “please, don’t tell anyone I did that”. (We weren’t supposed to be there , but did anyway). He helped a lot of men around that area get in the oil business and he would have had a big funeral if the family weren’t weird. And, since, no embalming, he had to be buried in 36? Hours.
Point being. Pine box, no embalming, no service. Cheap
