Default Pets that die at home

We have done some calling about and are finding the cost to euthanize and cremate extremely prohibitive on our incomes. What alternatives do we have here in The Villages?
Lianne - my heart goes out to you. We have been in TV for 6 years. During that time we had to euthanize two of our sick and/or elderly cats. Our Vet. Dr. Rebecca Fratello (House Calls Mobile Pet Clinic) came to the house during these difficult times. She took care of everything for us. It was a painful experience but at least our kitties died at home.
