According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2019\/10\/12\/funeral-expenses-higher-near-nyc-especially-parts-of-long-island\/\">New York Post<\/a>, Funeralocity, a comparison website for funeral and cremation services, has released its annual study of funeral expenses.&nbsp; The report identifies the most expensive places to have a traditional full service burial and a direct cremation.&nbsp; Long Island, including Nassau and Suffolk counties, tops the list of the most expensive places to have a traditional burial.<\/p>\n<p>In these two counties, the average cost of a full service burial is $9,744, which is approximately 31% higher than the national average.&nbsp; While not as high, New York City also exceeds the national average by about 11%.&nbsp; The average cost of a full service burial in the five boroughs is $8,256.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Lanotte, Executive Director of the New York State Funeral Directors Association believes that end-of-life costs tend to run higher on Long Island due to more traditional attitudes towards burials and the desire to include all of the services available.<\/p>\n<p>According to the CEO of Funeralocity, Ed Michael Reggie, preplanning burial or cremation services is an important aspect of not overpaying.&nbsp; It is difficult to compare prices and services in a time of grief.<\/p>\n<p>Funeralocity&#8217;s platform enables consumers to compare funeral and cremation costs, ratings and services in their area within the privacy of their own home.&nbsp; It can connect families who have an immediate need or are making arrangements in advance with the best funeral providers in their location.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2676","press","type-press","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"section_type":"in_the_news","news_content_type":"inner_post","news_image":"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/funeralocity\/images\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1599019706\/logo_new_york_post\/logo_new_york_post.png?_i=AA","outer_link":"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2019\/10\/12\/funeral-expenses-higher-near-nyc-especially-parts-of-long-island\/","show_on_page":[],"full_width_image":"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/funeralocity\/images\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1599019706\/logo_new_york_post\/logo_new_york_post.png?_i=AA","popularity":"25","location":{"state":"NY","city":"New York"}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.7 (Yoast SEO v28.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Funeralocity allows grieving consumers to look at...prices and reviews | Funeralocity<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/media-center\/ny-post-funeral-expenses-higher-near-nyc-especially-parts-of-long-island\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"&quot;Funeralocity allows grieving consumers to look at...prices and reviews&quot;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"NEW YORK CITY, October 12, 2019 &#8211;
