Does anyone think about how much their funeral is going to cost? Of course not, who wants to think about their funeral.But if your still interested, I will share the cost of a cheap funeral. There are many ways a person can save on funeral cost.
Most families that have an open casket will have embalming done to the deceased. Embalming cost around $185-$990 (Despedler,Strickland 289). If you do not want to have an open casket , you can eliminate the cost of embalming.
The next step in saving money at a funeral is to buy the cheapest casket. Some funeral homes sell the same casket for twice the price. The average casket cost is around $2,300 (Despendler, Strickland 292). You can always get a cheaper casket that is made out of press board.
Shopping around for the best funeral cost will help you save the most money. Do not let funeral directors talk you into buying the most expensive items. Remember, the funeral director knows your vulnerable and will try to get the most money out of you.
I wonder about cremation....what does that cost?
ReplyDeleteWhen choosing a funeral director, you may think that it's best to go with a trusted name or a funeral home that your family has used in the past. However, you need to be aware that there are significant differences in pricing among funeral homes, and the funeral home you have trusted in the past may not be the best financial choice.
ReplyDeleteWhen you're funeral planning you can typically rely on a funeral director to help you through the process. This will make things easier and everything in the funeral will go smooth.
