Afterdeath experiences: the high cost of post-living

today we deal with shared experiences:

“It always ends. That's what gives it value.”

How much is a funeral or cremation going to cost?

Funeral cost-cutting are killing the trade to a dead-end.

The booming Industry  say people are opting for simpler services to bring down overall death expenses.

The question of how much a funeral should cost is one that we often ask Online nowasays.  The question of cost is sometimes an issue that people feel uncomfortable asking a funeral director, believing that asking “how much” does not seem dignified. 

This demonstrates just how much of a ‘distressed purchase’ a funeral is, and how culturally we still feel uneasy about the ritual of dying.

Yet, with tougher economic times hitting all of us, the cost of dying has become a very important one. 

There are so many considerations related to:

 the type of casket, casket liner, vault, cemetery plot, grave marker, etc, etc. 

 In the case of a burial, 

embalming is an additional cost,
plus dressing, a viewing, vehicles required,
services of a celebrant and the list goes on.  

At a stressful time, all these questions and choices can be deadly daunting

Historically the funeral industry has not openly disclosed funeral prices, and you hesitantly receive a published price list.  

These days you can find more funeral homes providing open disclosure of funeral package prices.  However, the cost of a funeral can still vary significantly depending on where you live and which funeral services provider you use.  

Be sure to check what kind of funeral business you are dealing with.
