You may need to have a cheap funeral, but you don’t want to. After all, if money wasn’t an object, you’d celebrate your loved one’s life and legacy with extravagance, sparing no expense.

Jeans are a staple in most people’s wardrobes. People spend anywhere from $20.00 – $300.00 on a nice pair of jeans, and they expect to be able to wear them to most functions. Especially in recent years.
Jeans are also acceptable to wear to the office at many companies (not just on “casual Friday.”)

The loss of a brother can cause such pain, and it can leave us searching for something to ease that pain. We may also need reminders that though current days seem dark and we face many sleepless nights, there is still hope, love, and joy to be found — even in the midst of our grieving.
Every Christian funeral is centered on Christ and his Word. Even as you remember your loved one, you remember the promises found in Scripture and the hope that is now, at death, realized in heaven.
