Low cost funeral and cremation services in Fayetteville, AR

Saving money on cremation costs

The cost of a funeral service has become debilitating to many families in Arkansas, and the days of just entrusting a local Fayetteville funeral home to do a service without setting a budget for the cost of the funeral are coming to an end. Read on to find out how to save thousands by arranging a direct cremation service in Fayetteville.

More families are struggling financially, and many are just deciding that overpaying for a funeral is not dignified and is not a measure of how much you loved someone.  There are much lower-cost funeral alternatives if you seek them out. 

Traditionally, because people did not compare funeral prices similarly, funeral homes were not pitched against each other in a ‘price comparison’ manner.

Typically, funeral homes focus on their features of long-standing tradition and impeccable community service. Today, this can mean the difference between paying $2,000 or $8,000 for a funeral service, and this is a BIG difference just for heritage!

How can I save on funeral costs?

Cremation Costs

Firstly, make sure you compare prices between funeral homes. I can assure you that you will be quite surprised by how much the same items from a funeral home’s General Price List (GPL) will vary. According to federal law, all funeral homes must have a GPL.

A funeral home that happily discloses prices on its website or when you call understands the need for transparency in today’s funeral market. If it seems unwilling to openly disclose prices, this should raise alarm bells.

Consider lower-cost cremation services in Fayetteville.
