The average cost of a funeral in the United States is around $10,000. This amount of money is what many people pay for a car, a down payment on a house, or even a luxury vacation. The difference being, of course, that you have time to plan ahead and save for these types of big-ticket items. If death occurs suddenly or no advance provisions have been made, that’s a huge cost to take on all at once—especially since your own financial future may be uncertain now that you’ve lost a loved one.
