The best thing to do Is call up your hometown mortuary and ask. You can get quotes on things, and see whats in your price range. You can have little snacks after wards instead of a big plate or something, and serve punch and coffee because that's pretty inexpensive.. Hope this helps.. Sorry for you loss..

I am not sure about the cost in Colorado, but In California ours was 20,000.
Are you looking to bury, cremate, in ground or above ground?
This all depends on what you are getting or requesting. Funeral mortuaries do plan funeral packages which comes with the casket, guest book, funeral card, death certificate, flowers, police escorts, and hearse escort, cemetery plaque and endowment care. All these things are talked about when you choose a package when the beloved dies. OR you can choose to purchase this before you die, and the cost will be locked in. (Note: whey you are grieving for the deceased you will usually be so depressed, you will choose anything that is available and will spend more.) Been there.
BUT IF I WERE YOU, please by cemetery plots now, because each year they go UP by $2000, to $3000 a plot! So please do so, and they property will always be yours. Consult an advanced planner and write all your questions down.

I am sorry to hear that people were being so insensitive. My mother just recently passed away last february. It cost roughly 10,000 dollars in Michigan and we didnt cut the costs on anything. It just depends on what kind of casket you go for or if you chose to cremate instead. I know that the stone for her gravesite was 500 and the cheapest one they had was 400. The correct way for someone to have responded to this would have been, what I just did, then to also inform you that if you call a funeral home that you plan to go through they will tell you prices on everything. They do most of the planning for you as well. They just ask you how you want it done and details and stuff like that. I am sorry for your loss and people honestly can really truly be insensitive. I hope this answers your question.

It depends on the funeral home. If you want an intelligent, informed answer, then I'd suggest that you call or visit a funeral home and ask them! Now wouldn't that be the smart thing to do?

It depends on where the funeral is held. If the service is held at the cemetery it will cost less than if the service is held in a funeral home. If the deceased is a prominent member of a church, most churches will do the service for free.

Why did you ask this in the weddings section?
