Americans spend billions on funerals each year, but the funeral or burial services don't have to be pricey. A funeral could be a simple internment or an intricate affair with music, speakers, customised caskets and refreshments for mourners. Family, spiritual or personal preferences are important, but cost and convenience should be thought to be as well.
"Many families are forced to make calls about funerals under stress," recounted Michelle L. Corey, BBB President and Ceo. "By teaching themselves about the method and taking time to pose questions and compare costs, families can avoid overspending. They are likelier to get the kind of service they desire, too."
The Fed. Trade Commission's Funeral Rule gives patrons several rights, including the inherent right to receive written price lists, clarifications of graveyard or legal wants and the choice of employing a container aside from a casket for cremation. Some cemeteries have their own requirements, which must be explained completely prior to making a purchase.
