A loved one’s passing is always a difficult time for family and friends. Between grieving and arranging funeral services, the last thing on your mind is finances. Unfortunately, it’s an unavoidable aspect of the process — especially when you’re deciding between a burial or cremation. At Abriola Parkview Funeral Home, we want to help you through this hard time by offering a variety of funeral plans at our Trumbull, CT, funeral home. With over 100 years in business, we have the experience you need to help you and your family cope with the loss of your valued loved one while assisting you with making the appropriate arrangements to honor their life.

Saying goodbye to your loved one is an important aspect of their funeral plans. As such, it’s important to determine whether they would have preferred a burial or cremation. Often, this is mentioned in their will, but the decision also comes down to your family’s available budget. At Abriola Parkview Funeral Home, we offer both burial and cremation services to accommodate your loved ones who have passed.

cremationBurial services are relatively expensive, although final costs vary depending on a number of factors. Most burial services will cost at least $5,000, but most have the potential to cost $10,000 or more. In addition to the casket, flowers, and funeral home expense of the initial total, you’ll also have to pay for the plot of land where your loved one will be buried. Most plots will cost around $4,000, but it depends on your location.

Cremation, on the other hand, can cost as little as $1,000. However, if you’d like a service as well, you can expect to pay an additional $5,000 at most funeral homes. The urn where your loved one will rest will also cost a fee — usually a few hundred dollars — and there will also be an additional expense if you and your family choose to keep your loved one’s remains in a cemetery or mausoleum. Ultimately, how much you spend is up to you and your loved one’s final wishes.

While it may be difficult to focus on all of the various aspects of funeral planning, it’s essential to examine your finances carefully to best prepare for your loved one’s funeral service.
