Embed the funeral cost calculator

What your readers get

A funeral cost estimate for their own state, with the funeral home charges and the cemetery charges shown separately. That separation is the point. The most quoted figure in America, $8,300, is the funeral home’s bill only. The plot, opening and closing the grave, the vault and the marker are billed by a different business entirely and take a typical burial to $15,395. Almost every page on the internet quotes the first number and calls it the cost of a funeral.

State figures come from the National Funeral Directors Association General Price List Survey, spread across each division by the fees local funeral homes publish themselves, so a Mississippi estimate is not the same as a Connecticut one. Method and sources are published on the cost guide.

Who this is meant for

Funeral consumer advocacy groups, hospice and palliative care organisations, senior centres, estate and elder law practices, financial planning sites, bereavement charities, libraries and university extension guides. If you are none of those and it is still useful, take it anyway.

It is deliberately not built for competing insurance sites to whitelabel, and there is nothing stopping you, but the credit line stays.
