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 $6,180 in Ohio. That is the number families most often miss, and it is the reason a $13,530 burial is quoted to them at half the figure.

Item	Billed by	Ohio typical
Cemetery plot	Cemetery	$1,460
Opening and closing the grave	Cemetery	$1,260
Burial vault or grave liner	Cemetery	$1,590
Headstone or marker	Monument dealer	$1,870
Cemetery total		$6,180

Your rights when you call

The FTC Funeral Rule gives you the same rights at Smoot Funeral Services as anywhere else. They must give you an itemised price list before you agree to anything, and they must quote prices over the phone if you ask. You are not obliged to buy a package, you may buy a casket elsewhere, and they cannot charge you a handling fee for using it. Embalming is almost never required by law and cannot be charged for without your permission.

Covering $13,530 in Ohio

A burial insurance policy is written for exactly this bill. Coverage is usually $5,000 to $25,000, it pays out in days rather than weeks, and for most people over 50 there is no medical exam.
