A Funeral and its products, services and events can be costly, no matter one's financial situation.

According to the National Funeral Directors Association, the median cost for a Funeral with Viewing and Burial in 2019 was $7,640.

Therefore, before purchasing anything, review if funds may already have been allocated prior to the death.

Last Will & Testament

• Sometimes a Last Will & Testament will provide instructions for funds to be quickly distributed for Funeral arrangements


• If the deceased had a Will, review its details to see if money has been set aside

Pre-Paid Funeral Home

• If arrangements had been made with a Funeral Home prior to the death, it's possible that the Funeral and its products and services have already been paid for


• This is known as pre-payment; contact the Funeral Home for more information
