Northern Americans spend billions on funerals every year, but the funeral or burial services don't have to be pricey. A funeral can be a straightforward internment or an elaborate affair with music, speakers, customised boxes and refreshments for mourners. Family, spiritual or personal choices are significant, but cost and convenience should be thought to be as well.
"Many families are made to make calls about funerals under stress," recounted Michelle L. Corey, BBB President and General Manager. "By teaching themselves about the method and taking time to pose questions and compare costs, families can avoid overspending. They're more likely to get the sort of service they want, too."
The Fed Trade Commission's Funeral Rule gives patrons numerous rights, including the inherent right to receive written price lists, explanations of cemetery or legal wants and the selection of using a container other than a casket for cremation. Some cemeteries have their own wants, which should be explained fully before you make a purchase.
