5 Ways to Reduce Costs

  • - Direct cremation can save thousands vs. full burial
  • - Pre-planning may lock in today's prices against inflation
  • - You may supply your own casket - homes must accept it
FTC Funeral Rule

Federal law requires every funeral home to provide a complete itemized price list on request by phone or in person. You cannot be required to purchase a bundled package. This applies in all 50 states, including North Carolina.

What Drives the Price Up
  • - Premium or luxury caskets are the single biggest variable
  • - Metro-area viewing facilities command higher room fees
  • - Multiple certified death certificates at $15-$30 each
  • - Cemetery opening and closing fees often add $1k-$2.5k
  • - Headstones and monument costs are separate
