The end of the Kamakura shogunate came when Kamakura fell in 1333, and the HÅjÅ Regency was destroyed. Two imperial families â the senior Northern Court and the junior Southern Court â had a claim to the throne.
According to the Cremation Research Council, the average cost of a direct cremation is $1,100. This process does not include a traditional funeral service involving viewing of the body before cremation. Consequently, you do not need to spend on a casket and embalming of the body.
Cremations average $3,200 -- less than half the average cost of a traditional funeral, says Barbara Kemmis, executive director of the Cremation Association of North America. The urn can cost as little as about $20, and you can buy one at a number of places online, including the websites of major retailers such as Costco.
