The cost can vary, depending on how elaborate you want the coffin, flowers, etc., to be. But the average cost is around $5,000 - $7,000, meaning some can cost less, and others cost more. A lot also depends on what part of the country you live in and how elaborate you want to go. There are many aspects of a funeral most people are unaware of that need to be prepared for. Contact a "PreNeed" funeral specialist to determine how to best prepare and protect yourself and your family for unexpected deaths.

As with all things, it seems, there is a cost.

If you wish to have a service in your home and know a minister who can perform it as a gift, then there is no specific cost.

Cost accrue when you have the body buried and if you have a service which will take place in a chapel or funeral home.

The cost of a funeral really depends on what it is that you're looking to include. Similar to a car as there can be many different options. Also geographic location plays a role. In general, currently an average North American funeral will run between $7,000 to $10,000. This cost will include the standard services at the funeral home, funeral home director, paperwork, caskets, cemetery burial and installation of a headstone. There are different financial options that can help with the expense such as life insurance, Totten trust, pre planning, irrevocable funeral trust, funeral home financing company to name a few.
