When Lisa's oldest son died a couple years back, we had him cremated by an outfit down in Franklin.

My buddy Woody was kind enough to build a very nice box to hold his ashes and we held a memorial service at my brother-in-law's place.

Total cost to us was 1200 bucks for the cremation and maybe 10 bucks worth of gas to drive down to Franklin to pick up his ashes.
