Not withstanding the newer firms doing cheap "funerals" for just over a grand, surely the local authorities own the crematoria anyway, I don;t see why this is such an expense. Once body cleared for disposal, in the oven, sorted. Anyone with more direct knowledge shed any light?

diddly: "TTT - you seem to be implying that councils shouldn't pay for the funerals of people who die with no known relatives or without anyone with the means to pay for a funeral." - err where did I imply that? All I am saying is that councils should be able to dispose of bodies legally much cheaper, in fact we all should, in fact I actually outline my own wishes above. try reading what is written.

TTT - your reference to "necroparasites" says it all.

diddly, can you just confirm you are now done with falsely accusing me of picking on unfortunates? You now seem to have moved on to my terminology of undertakers, those who make money by emotionally blackmailing the bereaved to spend a fortune on disposing of a body. I think Necroparasite is accurate.
