Your Funeral Guy: Traditional Funeral cost

The average cost of a traditional funeral service presently is $6,000 to $7,000.This includes funeral home viewing, embalming, a hearse or funeral coach, paperwork, and a casket.

Flowers, obituary notices in newspapers, gravestones and cemetery sites add more to money to the event. In days gone by, Sailors used to wear a golden earing so as to have away to pay for a proper burial. I am not suggesting one go out and purchase a golden earring.

Sometimes Funeral cost can be covered with a little help from friends or relatives. This article shows how funeral cost can be covered by helpful friends.

Your Funeral Guy: Jessica Mitford good on Funeral Cost today!

It still amazes me that a book written many years ago still has an impact on funeral cost. The is is true of “The American Way of Death.” by Jessica Mitford. More surprising is a blog post in July 2008 that reveals how much she paid for her lower cost funeral.

“Finally, Mitford offers a glimmer of hope, a cheap light at the end of the tunnel: she supplies contacts to a load of organizations that provide, or at the very least help find, affordable funerals. And in case you’re wondering– though this wasn’t in the book– Mitford’s own funeral cost a mere $533.31. What a bargain!”

Your Funeral Guy: SCI offer To Stewart Enterprises may force Low Cost(Green)Funerals.

SCI (Service Corporation International) offer to by Stewart Enterprises may have unintentionally advanced the cause of the lower cost funeral, funeral cost reduction. and green funerals. On the surface and at their locations it may raise Funeral cost.

While working for several of these corporate funeral homes. I observed them often exchanging staff to be competitive and creating disloyalty among funeral directors. The proposed merger will probably create a funeral firing squad. It will be a human relations nightmare. It shows trouble in the funeral industry!

The Low Cost funeral will become more available by others as this SCI offer shows the trouble the funeral industry is in. Green Funerals, Green Burials, and the low cost funeral will become more acceptable options to the General Public. Many of these funeral folks may have to open and operate in facilities with low cost funeral options and even more dignity and respect for you!

Dealing with corporate funeral homes and their funeral costs should not stop you from getting a dignified funeral at lower cost! Find out more information here on lowering the average cost of a funeral.
