According to the 2017 funeral price survey by the National Funeral Directors Association, the average cost of an adult funeral is $8,755.00. This is based on the most commonly selected items for a traditional funeral including a casket and vault.
Today, people ages 45 to 85 years old can buy up to $25,000 of funeral insurance with guaranteed approval, which means you won't have to take an exam or answer any questions about your health.
