If you hold a prepaid funeral contract with this home. A closed licence does not cancel your contract. Most states require prepaid money to sit in trust or in an insurance policy that survives the business, and another funeral home or the state guaranty fund usually takes the obligation on. Two calls settle it. Ring the Illinois licensing board and ask who assumed this establishment's preneed contracts, then ring the bank or insurer named on your own paperwork. Do not assume the money is gone and do not buy a second policy before you have asked.

What the cemetery adds, which no funeral home bills you for
Funeral home charges are only part of a burial. The plot, opening and closing the grave, the vault and the headstone are billed by the cemetery and the monument dealer, and they add roughly $7,230 in Illinois. That is the number families most often miss, and it is the reason a $15,820 burial is quoted to them at half the figure.
| Item | Billed by | Illinois typical |
|---|---|---|
| Cemetery plot | Cemetery | $1,880 |
| Opening and closing the grave | Cemetery | $1,510 |
| Burial vault or grave liner | Cemetery | $1,760 |
| Headstone or marker | Monument dealer | $2,080 |
| Cemetery total | $7,230 |
