Can FCA pay for my loved one's funeral?
Sorry, we don't have the funds to pay for people's funerals, BUT ideas about where to find money and reduce costs to nearly nothing are on our "Need $ TODAY" page.
What is the least expensive funeral home in my area?
The list the police, hospice or hospital hand you is often incomplete. We have seen that list specifically leave off the cheapest mortuary in our county.
To price shop at-a-glance using our price survey on our home page on this site. Click on the section of the state you live in.
Even if the specific service you want is not listed you can tell which funeral homes charge less, and if their prices are presented in a clear and ethical manner.
