The costs listed above are meant to give you an idea of the various cost associated with the funeral but they do not necessarily cover all fees. Also, keep in mind the insurance carrier provides the death benefit to your selected beneficiary(s). It is important to discuss the game plan in how you wish the funds to be utilized. For this reason, we encourage you to invite the selected beneficiary(s) to join our initial meeting or arrange one to discuss. There are multiple strategies for your family.
*These average costs are according to the National Funeral Directors Association(NFDA) in 2017. Be advised these can change year to year and by geography.
