How Much Do Funerals Cost?


The National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) states that the average funeral costs roughly $7,000, however cash items that aren't usually purchased through the funeral home such as grave opening and closing, vault and cemetery property, flowers, clergy honorariums, obituaries and death certificates can add hundreds or thousands to the price depending on the choices the family makes. Funeral costs also vary greatly depending on what type of arrangements you choose (traditional or cremation), what type of casket you choose, and other products and services you may want. They can also vary depending on the area where you live.
However, by prearranging you can alleviate the final cost of funeral services for your family, protecting them from overspending during a difficult emotional time. It will also allow you to pay for your arrangements in small monthly installments, and may also provide the added protection of life insurance in the case of a premature death.
