Compare that to the agency's report from 2017 showing that the price of funerals had risen nearly twice the rate of inflation for all consumer items over the three decades prior.they are doing everything in their power to absorb the costs, but it's a hefty challenge. This means that consumers, already squeezed by price increases from everyday goods, groceries and gas, could face higher funeral bills.
Kelder, who has been a licensed funeral director for over 40 years, said funeral homes are generally "mindful to keep their charges within the norms of what their local markets can afford as well as any competitive pressure influences" and will reevaluate pricing and make adjustments to their offerings every one to two years. , price changes are now occurring every three to six months," he said.
Still, even with the added pressures, some funeral homes are "sitting tight until they absolutely must adjust pricing." Kelder said he has never seen so many people contacting his office seeking financial assistance to pay for a funeral.

The mark up in the funeral industry is almost as high as the mattress industry.
Direct cremation is the way to go.
Continue to keep cost down? I've lost three family members in the past 5 years that I contributed in paying for their funerals. Each time the price has been higher than the previous funeral.
Wouldn’t cremation be the cheapest method? Although I know no the most glamorous burial. but speed the process up, from the ashes you came to the ashes you will go. something like that
