Free or nearly free option:
Donate the body to science. They'll use the organs they can and then use the rest as a cadaver to teach medical students. Then they'll cremate everything and send you the ashes.

The deceased has to elect for this to happen, and the paperwork needs to be filled out/signed by them. We ran into this problem when my sister died unexpectedly. We all knew that was her wishes, but at 31, who thinks they need to make those arrangements?
We had to do this same thing with my wife’s aunt. A funeral home cremated her for $2000, and we bought an urn on Amazon for less than $50. The funeral home urns we’re hundreds of dollars, and the ‘burial package’ for a damn urn was something like $1500 more. We dug a small hole at the family plot and put some ashes there so she could be with her parents. Her best friend took some and I think he sister took some. We have the rest on a book case in our living room.
