Funeral home figures start from the South Atlantic median in the NFDA General Price List Survey, with the casket separated out so your choice replaces it rather than adding to it, then spread across the division by the fees Florida funeral homes actually publish. Cemetery figures are US mid-points. These are estimates, not quotes.
Most families have no plan for this
A burial insurance policy is written to cover exactly this amount. It pays out in days rather than months, and for most people over 50 there is no medical exam, only health questions.
