Funeral Costs in Utah

When it comes to burial expenses it is important to note that they vary from state to state. The expenses are set by the funeral homes and they outline everything from the cemetery plot to the casket and so on.

Furthermore, we do know the national average for burial is around $8,000 – $12,000 nationally.

This means that your family will be responsible for coming up with this amount of money when you die to make sure you have a proper funeral.

The truth is most Americans do not have $10,000 laying around to take care of a funeral.

Ask yourself if your children, brother, sister, or cousins have this on hand to pay for your funeral? Then ask yourself, why would you want to make them come out of pocket for it?

Another factor is inflation, inflation is going to make funerals skyrocket to $14,000 or more in the coming years. As time goes on everything goes up, so it is crucial to get something now.

Cremation

Cremation is also a much more affordable route to consider.

Cremation is typically half the cost of burial but with inflation, this will also make cremations whereas they usually range between $3,000 – $5,000. Increase to $8,000 or more.

This is why a cremation insurance policy is a great product to consider.

Another thing about burial insurance or cremation insurance is that these policies will last your entire life you cannot outlive them.

Other policies will go only until age 80 or 90. With these plans, they will go well over age 100 meaning it is coverage that will always be there.
