Cremation

My father passed suddenly Sunday,  May 5th.  He had just been diagnosed with liver cancer but had not yet begun treatment.  I'm very grateful he didn't have to suffer through chemo and radiation.  He died peacefully in his sleep.  His wishes were to be cremated,  however he had no life insurance.  The least expensive price is $1000.00.  I am disabled and don't have the money.  The  funeral home needs the money upfront and I don't know what I'm going to do.  If anybody can help, any contribution will be greatly appreciated.
