Why do Asheville cremation prices vary so much?
The three lowest prices come from businesses whose names say they focus on cremation or mortuary services. The higher prices are from traditional funeral homes. The listed figure also doesn't always cover the same things. Before you compare, ask each provider whether its direct cremation price includes picking up the body, the container, the cremation itself and returning the ashes.
Decide what kind of service you want first: direct cremation, a memorial after cremation, or a funeral with a viewing.
Call two or three homes from the tables and ask for the price of that service and what it includes.
Ask for the General Price List so you can compare item by item.
Ask about anything your family's faith or traditions require.
What must a funeral home tell you about prices?
The Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule gives you these rights with every funeral provider, Asheville included:
Funeral directors must give you price information on the telephone if you ask for it.
The funeral home must give you a General Price List that is yours to keep, listing every item and service it offers and the cost of each.
You may choose direct cremation, which does not require any form of preservation.
No state or local law requires a casket for cremation, and a funeral home that offers cremation must tell you alternative containers are available and make them available.
