Unmasking Funeral Costs: What You Need to Know

Planning a funeral doesn’t have to break the bank. Prices can drastically vary, up to 300%, depending on the chosen funeral home. Beware! Embalming isn’t legally mandated, and green burials offer cost-efficient alternatives. The FTC’s Funeral Rule empowers you with rights to transparent pricing. Don’t wait till grief hits; have candid family talks now about funeral preferences. Simplifying these arrangements shields loved ones from emotional and financial strain in near-immediate times of loss. So, engage and prepare—because death, just like taxes, is inevitable.
