Funeral Costs

According to most sources, the cost of a funeral is one of the three or four most expensive consumer purchases. Traditional Funerals can cost upwards of $15000. They definitely don't have to be so expensive, and there's no reason (other than stubborn sentimentalism) to believe that paying so much for a funeral is somehow a sign of love for the departed
