Northern Americans spend billions on funerals each year, but the funeral or burial services do not need to be dear. A funeral could be a simple internment or an intricate affair with music, speakers, customized caskets and refreshments for mourners. Family, spiritual or personal preferences are important, but cost and convenience should be regarded as well.
"Many families are made to make calls about funerals under stress," recounted Michelle L. Corey, BBB President and General Manager. "By educating themselves about the process and taking time to pose questions and compare costs, families can avoid overspending. They're more certain to get the kind of service they want, too."
The Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule gives buyers numerous rights, including the inherent right to receive written price lists, clarifications of cemetery or legal requirements and the selection of using a container aside from a casket for cremation. Some graveyards have their own requirements, which must be explained completely prior to making a purchase.
