Funeral homes are obligated by law to provide price lists
over the phone of all available services. Although you are undoubtedly pressed
for time, you would be best served to call at least two funeral homes to
compare prices. And be sure to compare package prices, not just individual
service prices. Most funeral homes should have separate price lists for
general services, caskets, and outer burial containers. Only by using all
three lists can you accurately evaluate the total costs and be able to compare
prices.
Below, according to the 1999 General Price List Survey, are the national
ranges for services and merchandise following the FTC required itemization
as of January 1999.
