Funeral Homes and Prices

You won’t believe the difference in prices between funeral homes – for the same things!

Important! If you aren’t planning to use the funeral home for a viewing or service, you can choose based on price, not location. If you are only gathering at the religious institution and/or the cemetery – no one will be going to the funeral home. You can save thousand by heading out of your immediate area.

Planning Simple Direct Cremation?

All funeral homes are required by law to offer a package called “Direct Cremation.” This is the simplest of arrangements with no embalming, and no viewing or service held at a funeral home. The body disposition is taken care of and you are then free to have a memorial service wherever and whenever you want (without involving – or paying – a funeral director).

Planning Simple Immediate Burial?

The simplest and least expensive burial option is Immediate Burial. If you skip viewing and service at funeral home and just have a graveside service. you can save a lot by not using a local funeral home. But, it is what it sounds like; the funeral director arranges for burial at a time convenient for them. However, many funeral directors are willing to negotiate a reasonable extra charge to have a graveside service and/or for family to be present for the burial.
