Did You Know?
Since few people comparison shop, most don’t know that funeral home prices vary greatly, even in the same town.
In central NJ, funeral home charges for direct cremation range from $340—$5,040. For the same thing!
There are more than 700 funeral homes in NJ, but fewer than 350 are needed to support the death rate.
If you go to a funeral home the funeral director is required by law to give you a General Price List (GPL) that itemizes the costs of all goods and services. That makes it easy to compare prices.
If you don’t want to hold a viewing or a service in a funeral home, you don’t need to choose a funeral home that’s nearby. Shopping further afield can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
