Planning a funeral can be overwhelming. Not only are there seemingly endless options, but also pricing can be vague and it’s difficult to know if you’re getting a fair deal. The No. 1 fear for people planning a funeral is being taken advantage of, according to Mark Duffey, CEO of Everest, a funeral

The national median cost for a funeral with a viewing and burial in 2019 was $7,640, according to the National Funeral Directors Association. If you add a vault, the average is $9,135. But those costs can vary dramatically, depending on what products and services you choose. If you pick more expensive materials for a casket, or start adding in services like transportation, music and flower arrangements, costs go up.

That’s where a service like a funeral concierge can not only help you make better informed decisions but also save you money. Think of a funeral concierge as a consumer advocate who is not associated with a funeral home, meaning they won’t benefit from upselling you on certain options, like more expensive caskets or vaults.

“We bust up those packages, because a lot of that stuff is just layered in there to make it look like you’re getting a lot of value, but in reality, you’re not,” says Duffey. “We strip away all the stuff you don’t necessarily need or want, and that right there is where you can save thousands and thousands of dollars.”
