North Americans spend billions on funerals every year, but the funeral or burial services do not have to be pricey. A funeral can be a simple internment or an intricate affair with music, speakers, customised caskets and refreshments for mourners. Family, non secular or personal preferences are significant, but cost and convenience should be considered as well.
"Many families are compelled to make choices about funerals under stress," recounted 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 more likely to get the sort of service they need, too."
The Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule gives buyers a number of rights, including the inherent right to receive written price lists, illustrations 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 fully before making a purchase.
