Funeral Costs in New Jersey

It's one of the most difficult things most people will ever have to do: Plan a funeral for a loved one.

What do you think something like a funeral will cost?

In a survey conducted by Bader Law, New Jersey was found to be the 6th most expensive state for a funeral.

The average cost of a New Jersey funeral is $6,054. A full-service burial service will cost you more: $9,188. A cheaper option is a cremation: $2,511. Some funerals, of course, can cost a lot more, while others can be less.

The study found that the cheapest option was in South Carolina, where a direct cremation can cost as little as $275. That doesn't include much other than the actual cremation.

Seth Bader of Bader Law had this to say about funeral planning:

"Many families are unaware that funeral costs can vary by thousands of dollars depending on where they live. This lack of price transparency puts grieving families at a disadvantage when making important financial decisions."

If money is a real issue, Bader suggests shopping around. Some funeral homes publish the prices for their services on their website.
