I noticed a few articles recently in the news on the subject of funeral costs. (Probably there’s something a psychologist would have to say about what catches my attention.) The articles are mostly about the higher-than-expected costs, and that many pre-payment schemes fail to cover everything that relatives expect. A funeral is certainly not cheap, but I’ve made a page with a checklist of funeral costs, plus a few of my thoughts on which items might be most worthwhile.
