What is the average cost of a traditional funeral?
• The cost of the funeral is dependent upon the services used and the merchandise selected. There are three places where expenses are incurred: • Professional Services • Merchandise selected (casket, vault) • Cash Advance Items. Cash advance items are items that we pay for on a family’s behalf, that are not directly our services. These items include clergy honorarium, music honorarium, grave opening, flowers, lunch, and monument work to list the most common. • With the many options available to you, it is hard to determine what an “average” funeral cost is. We would be more than happy to sit down with you and discuss the expenses either in person or by phone as the law requires. We invite the comparison of funeral expenses.
