Caskets

The casket makes up only about 1/3 the total cost of a funeral.

In planning a funeral, many families make costly mistakes because they have little or no experience in this area. Just to give you an idea of how easy it is to make a mistake and how quickly it occurs, the first mistake may happen the moment you call the funeral home to pick up the body. Did you just select the closest funeral home without comparing prices?

A funeral can be a huge financial burden. Doing a funeral requires making many decisions regarding costly expenses quickly. Time pressure and anxiety often results in paying too much. Funeral homes are aware of your plight and many will take advantage. Since the funeral home usually helps you make your decisions, this may lead to excessive funeral expenses.
