I have seen cremation and funerals advertised by a discounter. How is discounter able to offer services at such discounted prices?
In the instance of low price advertised cremations, our number one piece of advice is buyer beware. In life you get what you pay for, and here are some additional charges or things to look out for in this situation. To get the advertised price, many times you have to purchase a membership into a memorial program or cremation society before you pass away. Frequently the charges advertised use the basic or cheapest rates for some of the services. This means there can be extra charges if you do not die between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. There can also be a diminished level of the service that you receive. For example, things that can be done outside the funeral home are usually considered the families responsibility, even if you are unfamiliar with the processes. These include filing the death certificates, writing and submitting the obituary, and veteran’s and insurance benefits claim filing. This do-it-yourself-for-the-least-money approach may work for some people.
