Many people don’t realize that prices can vary greatly
between funeral homes. In recent years,
many family-run funeral homes (and local cemeteries) have been taken-over by
big global corporations. What often
happens is that many of these big corporate funeral homes often keep the
original owner’s family name on the door so they don’t scare away their old
customers. Unfortunately, these
corporations often raise prices by 30% to 50%.
Always check to see if there has been a change in ownership
at a funeral home that has had the same name for years. And even if you find that the funeral home is
under the same ownership you still need to check their pricing.
Choosing a reasonably-priced local funeral home instead of
one of the many corporate funeral homes can substantially reduce your
out-of-pocket funeral expenses. Believe
it or not this may reduce your overall funeral bill by $2,000 – to $4,000 for
the same exact items!
This same principle applies to cemeteries. These funeral corporations have also been
buying up many of the older, better established cemeteries across the
country. They know that you are more
likely to pay their larger fees just to be buried next to a deceased relative.
