When You Choose Burial/Cremation
• Funeral homes have been the primary destination for all of us since the 19 th century. The influx of war dead created the need for a funeral establishment. Before that, it was up to the family to care for their dead and bury them. • In modern times, the funeral home can play vital role in a dignified send- off for our loved ones. They can also ensure the proper stewardship of all dead bodies for those that don’t have anyone to mourn them. • Embalming, viewing, plot, service and administrative fees all add up though. • The cost of an average full service funeral is over $10,000 with the average casket cost at approximately $2,000. • The costs of funerals have skyrocketed in the last 20 years. So much so that many started to move toward the less expensive option of cremation.
