This illustration  shows the rise in Funeral Cost from 1967 to 2006. The graphic also shows the cremation rate on a state by state basis from  several years ago.

The numbers come from the National Funeral  Director’s  Association(NFDA) who do not keep the public current on the cost of funerals.

The state by state cremation numbers are not current and appear to be from 2006 or before. . This graphic shows you why it is important  to come in under the average cost of a funeral.  Particullarly Sad is the graphic showing the rise in funeral cost as percent of income.
