“More People Buy Own Casket to Reduce Funeral Cost
Sun, 07/18/2010 – 10:41 by Armen HareyanIt’s not something that many want to think about, but your death or the death of a loved one is inevitable. It can also become quite costly. If you plan ahead; however, you may be able to save money on your funeral. Many people are looking into buying their own caskets, rather than paying the often outrageous prices of funeral parlor caskets.
Peter McGahan, managing director of Worldwide Financial Planning in Cornwall, England, stated, “Much of funerals is built around irrational fear and guilt. Face it, and save some money for the beer afterwards.” He may make a joke, but planning ahead, although not a pleasant idea can most definitely help keep the costs down when the inevitable time comes that you pass away. This also eliminates much stress off of family members who will be mourning.
Other authorities in the field have said that it is indeed possible to cut the cost of a funeral quite significantly. The amount of a funeral will depend on many factors. Location of the ceremony, location of where you pass away, whether you want to be cremated or have a traditional burial and finally, what kind of burial you want, all need to be taken into consideration when budgeting for your funeral. All countries have different prices and offer different incentives for funeral costs.
If burial is your choice and this is understandable, there are several other ways to keep costs down. R. Brian Burkhardt, a funeral director who writes a blog under the name “Your Funeral Guy,” suggests some ways to help keep to a budget. One suggestion he makes is to buy your casket online rather than through a funeral home. The cost, he says, will be significantly less.”
