Re: Funeral cost
Again brother, try contacting the Veterans Administration. https://www.va.gov/landing2_contact.htm
Especially if he is indeed a 20 year retired veteran. Here is a section on Burial Benefits. https://www.cem.va.gov/burial_benefits/
Not sure about repatriation of the body but it might be worth contacting them about that.
Jeez sounds like PIEMAN goes above and beyond for his mates. I hope I'm a mate of PIEMAN's when I'm on my death-bed.
Re: Funeral cost
Used to be $20-$30 for the basic cremation at the wat, disregarding cost for a ceremony etc.
Here's an earlier post of mine:

When you are poor, you take the body to the Wat yourself and pay between $20-$30 for wood and the cremation. Afterwards you pick through the ashes and collect the remains, and put them in a jar and take them home. Of course in addition you would also pay for monks and possibly food for guests depending on what you could afford, and where you sit in the community.In these circumstances the community usually assists.Barang_doa_slae wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2017 9:06 pm While 1270$ might seem over valued, I have assisted and organized many deceased cremations and the 30$ quoted is BS. In my experience it costs from 100+ to plenty thousands of $.
The example I quoted where I spent $500, the whole process was reasonably elaborate and the body was transported in a coffin on a suitably attired truck. There were monks hired the previous day for chanting. There was also food and drinks for guests after the cremation. However the money payed to the guys chopping the wood and burning the body was still around $30. PR's quote of under $100 for wood and Monks is my experience also. The extra expense comes from the cost of hiring monks and catering for guests, not in the cremation itself.

Re: Funeral cost
Kuroneko's post is quite accurate, in any case it falls in line with local costs in our village.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

Re: Funeral cost
I thought paying 200 bucks to the hospital was a bit OTT but now the body has been in the morgue for 7 days its money money money,we told the embassy we ain,t got the cash to bury him and low and behold the body ends up at a funeral home,surely a veteran off 20 plus yrs deserves better.

Re: Funeral cost
Pieman,
Part if the issue with the embassy is that they may be communicating or attempting to communicate with the next of kin.
What they should be doing is:
1. Locate and inform next of kin.
2. Assist family in making arrangement with local authorities for preparation and disposition of the remains. This assistance is informational and does not include any financial assistance.
3. Prepare a Consular Report of the Death of an American Citizen once the local death certificate is issued (this is a legal document that his estate can use back in the states).
4. Take possession of all personal effects. Communicate with the next of kin in regards to disposition of such items.
Thats it. The State Deparment is explicit that they do not pay for the return of remains of deceased Americans overseas, nor do they pay for funeral costs, etc.
So I would assume that the embassy actually has a list of possible venues for cremation with prices, it may be they choose to only release the information to the next of kin.
