Many people, even those of means, are opting for an immediate cremation, which may only cost a few hundred dollars, then a memorial service a few weeks afterwards. Why pay upwards of $20K for a funeral? Save that money and give it to your family. A good fried died 5 years ago, and did just that: a quick cremation, the urn given to his wife, who spread the ashes in his favorite walking park near his home (check local and state laws), and then they had a meal/service, presided over by their local reverend. They had a 10-minute service, a few drinks, and some fond remembrances of him. Simple.

We had open casket during the viewing and I even went to the funeral home the morning of the funeral to give one of the directors a pair of shoes to put on my brothers feet. Also stayed at the grave site to watch his casket get lowered into the ground and to make sure that the workers didn’t open up the casket and take jewellery off my brother.

My mom says spend the money on something meaningful don’t spend it on an extravagant funeral,

An honest funeral home (yes, they exist) will get its revenue and profit from its base service charge. The issue is, this makes it appear unappealing as you see a base charge of $4,000 to $5,000 before you even choose a casket. The difference tho is that while it is high upfront, there should be fewer hidden fees, meaning less worry about how high the bill will go. As a student in the funeral industry, one who has worked in funeral homes and seen the worse of the worse. I'd like to part with you a few words of wisdom. These are things that the majority of funeral homes will do and some things that any honest professional will tell you as well as things to look out for and avoid. 1) Don't wait till you or your family member has died to speak to a funeral director. A rather common mistake that I see people do because of busy lives is they never take time to discuss wishes and plan out services before the person is dead. I personally have a letter in my files labeled for when I die, I update it frequently. Funeral homes will pre-plan a service even if the person isn't terminally ill, and a reputable funeral home won't charge you til it's time for the services to be done as a lot can change between now and then. This is advantageous as it allows you to shop for a better value without feeling rushed. 2) You can use your own items. Funeral Homes by law HAVE to accept stuff like caskets, Urns, Memorial Foldes, etc... from a family, additionally, they are to do this without charging a fee. If you really want to get cheap but have a decent service you can shop for a casket and purchase one for less than the funeral homes ask. Ironically, Walmart has a selection of decent caskets, but be wary, not all suppliers have the same quality and I have seen way too many instances of caskets and urns falling apart due to shoddy workmanship. Additionally, you can use your own venues and equipment too, with the right permitting you can have your loved one buried in your back yard, additionally, nothing stops you from using your own cars, your own property for the funerals, etc. Also to this day, you can establish a family cemetery in the U.S, you'll be subject to similar laws as public ones but you can still do it. 3) Keep an eye out for these warning signs when talking to funeral homes. If a funeral home or director does any of these things, go elsewhere: - They don't provide you a GPL (General Price Listing) upon request. - They don't allow you to watch the removal process or allow you to participate if you ask. - They offer funeral "Packages" that are not customizable. - They try to have you fill out any non-disclosure forms before arranging a service. This can catch you out but you shouldn't sign anything that prevents you from speaking against them. - They try to charge you for a pre-arrangement and don't guarantee they will keep the arrangement after a certain period. These things are just a few ways I have seen people get manipulated. 4) Know where to spend your money. A major thing I see that catches people off guard and raises costs is the purchase of items that are either redundant or often just are never used as intended. A few things I see that really can be avoided are: - A sealing casket AND a sealing vault - Flower Pots on headstones - Large and ornate flowers - Normal urns for scattering ashes - Normal urns for ground burial There are more but their rather specific so I won't mention them. Also, there are things you can utilize to your benefit. - Rental caskets are a good alternative for those who don't want to buy a casket for viewing when the body is to be cremated. This is also good for burials too if the burial is to be held privately at a separate time. - Instead of ordering flowers that get thrown away after the service or don't get donated. Use items that represent the deceased, or if you want foliage, get a plant that can be put in a garden later or donate the flowers after the service, seems dark but retirement homes love to use those arrangements. - Don't buy the ornate headstones for individuals, get a family section, make a nice marker for the whole section and use less ornate and less expensive headstones for each member. - If you aren't particularly religious, a graveside service is a cheaper alternative to renting a church. - The cheapest option for you will differ, where possible like California, Green Burial is actually cheaper than cremation, and Direct Cremation where cremation is cheap is the often cheapest and simplest option. Direct burial also exists too. - For funeral homes that offer a flower car, it's an expense that can be avoided as it does nothing that normal pickup cant do and serves no actual purpose more than driving flowers to the graveside. - If you cannot afford a pastor, you can officiate a service yourself in most places, laws may vary tho. - Unless you really want to use them, sealing burial vaults and caskets do little to nothing in the preservation and over time lose that seal and their pest-preventative abilities. It's best to opt out of those if you want and when you can. I hope this information is useful to you.

How is that legal? You can't even bury a horse in some farming communities!

It costs less to phone a crematoreum than to call a funeral home. Have a memorial service in a rented building, or, like in Northern California, you can have a "Celebration of Life" (of the deceased person's life) at a later date. A common way to do this is via a potluck type get together in a park. Often the month of the Celebration of Life is set for when the weather will be nice.

Funeral homes need to be held accountable for lying about plot payments.

You can buy a casket from an outside source. You can also do better with funeral homes outside major metro areas. Life ins. will cover most burial costs, so it's not a bad idea to have it.

After seeing the video I am appreciating the Islamic rules more. Number one rule is the dead should be buried as soon as possible which removes embalming and other costs from the equation. Number two is there should not be any casket, body must be shrouded by a white piece of cloth and nothing else for burial. This further reduces the cost. No funeral home is required, a little prayer is done in mosques for the deceased and doesn't cost anything, Overall burial is less costly and business opportunities are kept at minimum.

Surprisingly, I see no comments about Direct Cremation. I organized this for both of my parents (who lived over seas) and plan to arrange it for myself. One flat fee of less than $1,000. The body is collected from the hospital or place of death, cremated, and the ashed mailed to you. You don't need to get involved in the disposal side of it, and can set up a separate memorial where and when you want.

Funeral homes deserve to be put out of business. It says a lot when you can have a golden retriever cremated or buried for a tiny fraction of what it costs for a human. The fees charged for human death are outrageous and have little basis in actual costs. It’s an industry that preys on grief and people at their most vulnerable. For example you can buy exquisite elaborate large furniture for far less than a typical simple casket. It’s a predatory industry that needs to change. It only hurts people and families further to drain their bank accounts when they’ve already suffered the loss of a loved one. it’s unethical.

Today, even death brings a label attached to it, "Made in China".

I also believe making money off the dead is off limits. The people that do this have no morals and no values absolutely no moral compass

They are thieves and profiteers. I was a customs officer in commercial customs for 20 years. One day I had to clear a truck full of coffins which was going to the seller in Canada, the American funeral home or distributor was returning those he didn't want to buy. When I saw the true price of a casket my jaw dropped, it was in the 90's and the unit price was around $1000 and under. Subsequently I decided to change my field of work for pension funds and I dealt with surviving spouses' pensions and funeral expenses. In Canada when a person works, an amount is deducted for his pension fund and entitles his family to receive an amount of $2500 for funeral expenses. So it was my job and just by reading the bills, I can say that a funeral home knows how to play on the feelings of the bereaved. There is nothing too good for your deceased.

My will: 1) Biodegradable coffin. It's gonna be a closed casket funeral. 2) Instead of a hearse, just use my old pickup truck or equivalent. I lived in the working class, I'll die working class too. 3) Lower me into the ground while playing "Star Duster". At least I'll know people are gonna cry. 4) Plant a tree over my body and use it as a headstone. Let it consume me to become a tree.
