In 2006 the average charge for an adult, full service funeral was $5,771.73. This includes a professional service charge, transfer of deceased, embalming, other preparation, use of viewing facilities, use of facilities for ceremony, hearse, limousine, and casket. The casket included in this price was an 18 gauge steel casket with velvet interior which may or may not be the most common casket chosen. Vault, cemetery and monument charges are additional.

According to the National Funeral Directors Association, the average cost of a funeral as of July 2004, is $6,500. That cost includes an outer burial container, but does not include cemetery costs or other third party charges such as flowers, burial clothing, or newspaper notices.

The cost of a funeral varies with each family. We find, that in 2008, the cost of a full traditional service, on average, falls between $7000 and $9000 exclusive of cemetery and/or crematory charges. This includes our professional services, transfer of remains, embalming and preparation, use of our facilities for viewing, use of facilities for ceremony, hearse, limousine, flower car, casket and vault or urn. The cost of non-traditional service packages starts at $2,950.
