We would like to
remind
families that like other life rituals and celebrations such
as weddings, bar-mitzvahs, retirement, and anniversaries;
funeral ceremonies can represent a significant expenditure.
It’s better for everyone to be educated and informed of all
their options so that the families are as comfortable as
possible with meeting their loved one’s final wishes.
State and federal laws that
oversee the funeral industry require each funeral home to
maintain a general price list or GPL. These
standardized documents
are available from all funeral homes upon request and are
designed to be compared with each other by families to
evaluate the costs associated with each funeral service
option they may be considering.
Families are well served to
explore their options and preferences with more than one
funeral home by carefully comparing each firm’s general
price list. Funeral decisions should be made the same way
savvy consumers m
ake
other major purchasing decisions. The savings you find could
be significant for the same or
similar goods and services.
The benefit of approaching funeral choices in a comparative
manner is that each family has a fair opportunity to select
the most fitting tribute to their loved one that is also
manageable and realistic for the surviving family members.
