I don't wish to be morbid, but cannot decide whether to be buried or cremated. There are only my two daughters, my husband died many years ago. He is buried in the local cemetery and there is space for me their too. I just cannot make a decision. Funerals are a huge expense and as there are only my two daughters it does seem rather pointless. If I were to be cremated I suppose my ashes could be put in my husbands grave. What do you advise. I hope I have not caused any upset to anyone.

It is totally a personal choice but I find burials worse for the family. As it's almost twice, the funeral itself then the ashes to ashes dust to dust lowering of the casket and dirt chucked on top . I personally think it's a lot for family to endure but it's just my opinion.
Cremation yes ashes can go in husband's grave or scattered somewhere you love. My dad's we scattered of a boat on the Norfolk Broads ( his favourite place ) .
