Northern Americans spend billions on funerals each year, but the funeral or burial services do not need to be pricey. A funeral can be a simple internment or an intricate affair with music, speakers, customized cases and refreshments for mourners. Family, non secular or personal preferences are critical, but cost and convenience should be regarded as well.
"Many families are forced to make choices about funerals under stress," said Michelle L. Corey, BBB President and General Manager. "By training themselves about the method and taking time to ask questions and compare costs, families can avoid overspending. They're likelier to get the kind of service they desire, too."
The Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule gives consumers a number of rights, including the prerogative to receive written price lists, clarifications 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 must be explained completely before you make a purchase.
