How much does a funeral cost?

At Platt's Funeral & Cremation Services, proudly serving families in Augusta and Evans, Georgia, we know that understanding funeral costs is a top priority during a difficult time. According to the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA), the median cost of a funeral with a viewing and burial nationwide is $8,300, while the average cost, including a vault, reaches $9,995, as reported in their 2023 Member General Price List Study (source: https://nfda.org/news/statistics). For a funeral with cremation, the median cost is $6,280. These national figures offer a starting point, though costs can vary based on your preferences and location.

What is the purpose of a funeral?

A funeral or memorial service provides an opportunity for the living to show respect for the deceased and pay tribute to their life. It provides a framework to freely and openly express our beliefs, feelings, and thoughts about the death of our loved one. It gives us permission to grieve our loss, share in solidarity, and gain strength from others who are experiencing the same loss.

Can you still have a funeral if you choose cremation?

Yes, cremation or burial is merely the disposition of the body. Funeral services are to honor and remember your loved one, regardless of disposition.
