Americans spend billions on funerals every year, but the funeral or burial services do not need to be expensive. A funeral can be a easy internment or an intricate affair with music, speakers, customised boxes and refreshments for mourners. Family, spiritual or personal preferences are significant, but cost and convenience should be considered as well.
"Many families are made to make decisions about funerals under stress," said Michelle L. Corey, BBB President and Ceo. "By teaching themselves about the process and taking time to pose questions and compare costs, families can avoid overspending. They are likelier to get the kind of service they need, too."
The Fed Trade Commission's Funeral Rule gives consumers numerous rights, including the inherent right to receive written price lists, explanations of graveyard or legal requirements and the choice of using a container aside from a casket for cremation. Some cemeteries have their own wants, which must always be explained completely prior to making a purchase.
