Something few people think about, and a subject that can be mystifying, is the cost of a funeral. Many believe they have life insurance policies that will cover the necessary expenses. The fact is, insurance benefits frequently fall short of covering all costs involved, and many individuals are not even aware of what those various costs might be. Sanders Funeral Home can be of help in explaining what the standard expenses are and can assist in reviewing one's eligibility in receiving benefits provided by the Social Security and Veterans Administrations.

It is important to realize that numerous items must be considered in determining funeral expense. The first is the funeral home service charge, which includes such items as services of the funeral director and staff, removal and preparation of the deceased, various uses of the funeral home facilities, a chapel or church service and necessary automotive equipment.

Certain items often overlooked may be classified as cash advancements. These may include death certificates, ministers' and musicians' honorariums and floral arrangements. One should also keep in mind burial clothing for the deceased. A casket and an outside container, (which serves the purpose of housing the casket), should also be considered.

One must also recognize cemetery charges that will probably be incurred. The costs of purchasing cemetery spaces will vary not only depending upon the cemetery selected but also upon the section chosen within the cemetery. A standard cemetery charge for opening and closing the grave should be expected. A headstone marker along with a fee from the monument company and/or cemetery for setting such marker should also be considered.
