BURIAL VS BURIAL, HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH? YOU DECIDE IF THATS HONESTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO PAY...

Perhaps the most frequently requested piece of information produced by the survey is the national average cost of a funeral. Since the 1960s, NFDA has calculated the average cost of a funeral by totaling the costs of the following items:
- Non-declinable basic services fee
- Removal/transfer of remains to funeral home
- Embalming
- Other preparation of the body
- A metal casket or rental casket
- Use of the funeral home and staff for viewing
- Use of the funeral home and staff for a funeral ceremony
- Use of the funeral home and staff for a graveside service or urn
- Use of a hearse
- Use of a service car/van
- A basic memorial printed package (e.g., memorial cards, register book, etc.)
The national average cost of a funeral, as quoted by the NFDA for calendar year 2013 is $7,635. If a grave vault is included, something that is typically required by a cemetery, the average cost is $8,933. The cost does not take into account cemetery, monument or marker costs, crematory fees (if cremation is selected instead of burial), or miscellaneous cash-advance items, such as flowers, obituaries and funeral procession escorts. Many factors contribute to the final determination of how an individual funeral home prices its good and services, including the firm's business philosophy and the market in which it operates and corporate or independent ownership.
