Before thinking about a low cost funeral, please consider what you would do about a family member's funeral or perhaps your funeral.
Three Basic Steps to a Low Cost Funeral.
The first basic step to a low cost funeral is to get your casket on the internet. I remember the first time I observed this as a funeral director. A member of the family drove from out of state to the funeral home where I worked. The casket came in a rented van. The casket was a beautiful wood grain just like the one on the funeral home floor. To my surprise I had never heard of the internet casket angle for the consumer. Further research made it apparent, consumers can get caskets on the internet for Three Hundred to Seven Hundred percent less. It does not have to be brought to the funeral home in a van by a family member. In fact the casket many times can be delivered next day for free just as the funeral home does it. Since the casket is usually the major product purchase in a funeral, purchasing a casket on the internet is a first basic step to a low cost funeral. The most interesting part of this is that the funeral director cannot charge you anything for doing this.
The second basic step to a low cost funeral is to make the cremation choice. With this choice a casket is not needed. Since it is best to have an urn for a memorial services, an urn can be obtained for less than the funeral home's price on the internet. If you decide to get creative about the urn you can even obtain it for less than this. Some of the most beautiful urns I have seen were hand made at little cost. Quality urns can be obtained for less on the internet or off the internet.
The third basic step to the low cost funeral is to avoid funeral home scams. The largest portion of these scams come from the sale of preneed. This can be referred to funeral insurance or purchasing funeral service in advance. When purchasing a funeral in advance you most often do not get the interest on your money. It usually goes to the funeral home, and the funeral insurance company. The other way money can be lost is through simple theft, put in plain terms: The Funeral Director takes the money. This happens more often than one may think. Avoid "Preneed", "Funeral Insurance and "Funeral Home Scams."
To sum up the three basics of a low cost funeral are:
1. Buy Your Casket on the Internet.
2. Choose Cremation and be creative about the urn.
3 Avoid Funeral Home scams.
