How Much Does a Funeral Cost?

The cost can vary depending upon what type of service you are asking us to provide.  Full services involve more of our resources and time verses a direct cremation without any memorialization.  For example a traditional service with embalming, visitation, funeral service and burial in a local cemetery ranges from $13,500 - $16,500.  This includes our fees, casket, vault and cash advanced items such as opening & closing the grave, honorariums, flowers and miscellaneous items.  If you choice cremation often it is about 1/3 less.  Many times with cremation services we still have much of the same types of events, like a visitation, memorial service and burial, the only difference is the cost of an urn compared to the cost of a casket and the cost of an urn vault compared to a full size vault for a casket.

Expected payment is 25% down payment at time of arrangements and balance due with in 30 days.
