Your Decision on whether you will come in under the average cost of a funeral essentially is not difficult. It comes down to Cremation or Burial.
A cremation generally runs between $625 and $1500 USD ($1500.00 is way too much).
Now for a traditional funeral today the average cost is about $8300.00 USD. With a good range being $7,000 USD to $10,000 USD.
So If you choose cremation you most always will come in under the average cost of a funeral.
Snippet From the Senior-Site.
“It may be morbid to blog about funerals especially to seniors like me but practically speaking, planning for your own funeral can actually save you and your loved-ones time, energy and of course, money. Seniors must consider planning for their own funeral as some sort of insurance. Good thing is, if you plan your funeral ahead of time, you would know that everything will go according to what you have in mind, thus avoiding confusion and misunderstanding when that fateful day comes.Seniors should also consider that a death is some sort of an instant magnet for scammers and con-artists. Of course, you wouldn’t want your loved-ones to be taken advantage of during their most vulnerable time. With that said, here are some tips on how to plan and cut cost on your own funeral—well, it may come in handy for caregivers as well:
· Do your research. There is no better time than now to do these things. Know the industry and how it goes nowadays. It includes prices and “packages” local funeral homes offer. Make a rough draft of how you would like your funeral to be arranged.
· Decide whether to cremate or bury. Whatever happens to your being, it will all boil down to either of the two: cremation or burial. Let it be clear to everyone what you prefer and your reasons why you prefer it.”-via seniors-site.com
