In most cases, pre-paying for a cremation does not save money. That is why you see so many ads for a free lunch or dinner to sell you a prepaid cremation. Knowing the price for a cremation and the phone number of the funeral home in advance is all you need. Pre-paying is like giving the funeral home a free loan, and sometimes, people lose the paperwork, so the survivors end up paying for the cremation anyway.
