About Anthony Martin

Content: In situations where the plot has already been purchased, it can be much, much easier on family members, but make sure your family knows about your purchased plot. How Much Does It Cost For A Funeral Service/Wake? If you’re trying to decide whether or not to have a service or wake, knowing the cost of funeral services may be helpful: Typically, the costs of having a service will be around $5,000 when you add up all of the fees. See our full breakdown of funeral prices to learn how those fees are typically itemized. Any service with a viewing will always cost a lot more compared to a funeral that has no viewing of the body, due to body preparation fees. The Cost Of Cremation Vs. Burial
An average funeral will cost about $7,000 and the average cremation with a service will cost roughly $6,000, but the cost difference gets considerably more severe once you consider the price of the plot, casket, and headstone. Doing a direct cremation with no service (which can cost as little as $1,000) is much different financially than doing a full plot purchase and service in one go (which can be more than $9,000), so it very much depends on the family’s comfort and needs. See our itemized breakdown to really grasp the differences in cremation vs. funeral prices.
