Syracuse Casket Direct works closely with our dealers in providing them with the knowledge that is needed to help consumers in making decisions based upon fact, logic, reason, and the law, versus grief-stricken emotion and the high pressure sales tactics used all too often in the funeral process. Most consumers have precious little knowledge of how to buy a funeral, let alone what is legally required and what rights the purchaser does have. According to the Federal Trade Commission, "A funeral can be the third or fourth most costly expenditure of our life". It defies logic that most people still rely upon the opinion of the funeral director, in many cases a stranger, for what is an appropriate ceremony, what type of casket should be selected, and how much should be spent! We can avoid many of the pitfalls surrounding the funeral process by following seven simple steps,. 1. Comparison Shop - Today's average traditional funeral has skyrocketed to between $6,000.00 - $10,000.00, with costs continuing to soar. According to death care experts, a knowledgeable consumer can shop around and spend as little as $2,000.00 - $3,000.00 for a complete funeral with a steel casket. Comparison shopping is the key. Funeral home pricing can vary dramatically for virtually the same selection of service and merchandise from one location to the next. Many consumers are taking advantage of their legal right to comparison shop by phone. By law, funeral homes must provide specific answers to specific questions.
