I want to figure out a way to plan for my cremation without mortary services realizing that I'm going to be committing suicide. I want to figure out a way to pay them in full before hand and get a cost estimation, but it's difficult when they have to find out about which body they will be cremating. I just do not want my family to pay for the funeral and cremation expenses, and it's difficult to find a way to wrap myself around the logistics of it.

I thought maybe say you have cancer and have only a few months to live, but what if your family finds out you lied to them

Call and ask, say it's for a relative who is terminally ill if they ask but dont just blurt it out if they dont ask. Leave money in an envelope or access to your bank account and write in a note what the money is for.
I also want to be cremated. I searched online for a crematorium, looked for price estimates online and I'll leave money to cover it, with extras.

I don't know where you are but most countries have some kind of prepaid funeral plans and they don't ask the reason. If they do ask, just say the pandemic has made you realise you don't want your family to be burdened with organising it if something happened to you. The idea behind the plans is you pay in advance and you're covered even if you drop off the twig in 20 years time.
A quick google search will give you some ideas of what's around in your country.

I was going to suggest just that. In the UK, however, it seems as though most if not all prepaid funeral plans have a minimum membership period before they'll pay out. 12 months seems to be the norm.

I had a look and as far as I could see if you pay in full upfront then there's no wait - if you're paying in instalments then most I looked at seem to have a 2 year wait before you can claim.
It depends on each funeral parlour I suppose.
