Funeral expenses are believed to be one of the top three expenditures consumers will ever have. A traditional funeral is estimated to cost and average of $6.540 but can run as high as $15,000. Funerals are not required to be expensive, but the traditional parts of funerals, such as casket, funeral arrangements, and burial plot, can be the most expensive elements.
Funeral costs can be divided into three basic categories:
1. The basic service fee: This is a fee that funeral providers are allowed to charge, but consumers can decline it. This fee usually covers common services, such as the use of the home, the services of the funeral director and funeral home attendants, burial arrangement coordination, and securing permits.
2. Optional service charges: Some optional services include transporting the body, embalming, times for viewing (or wakes), use of a hearse or limousine, burial container, cremation and interment.
3. Cash disbursements: The funeral home will purchase some goods and services for you, including flowers, clergy services, obituary notices, pallbearers and other service providers such as soloists or musicians.
