Prices for both funerals and cremations were higher than in most other parts of the country. Funeralocity CEO Ed Michael Reggie said, \u201cWilmington funeral homes average $8,469 for a single service, which is 14% higher than the national average. Additionally, cremations in Wilmington cost $2,921, which is 37.5% higher.\u201d Funeralocity compared prices from 17,000 funeral homes to compile the data for their study. Neither Ed Michael Reggie nor Michael Platt, the president of the Delaware Funeral Directors Association, could explain why prices for end-of-life services were higher in Delaware.\r\n    <div class=\"single-content-banner\">\r\n                                    <div class=\"single-content-banner__shortcode\">\r\n                            <div class=\"input-search-wrapper input-search-wrapper--bottom\">\r\n            <h2 class=\"title-search\">See funeral home prices in your area<\/h2>\r\n            <div class=\"input-search search-home\">\r\n                <input placeholder=\"Enter your City or ZIP Code\" type=\"search\" class=\"addressMain\">\r\n                <button type=\"submit\" class=\"blue-button\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/funeralocity\/dist\/images\/icons\/search-button.svg\">Search\r\n                <\/button>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <span class=\"small-text\">Use zip code for more precise search results<\/span>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n<\/p>\r\n    <div class=\"single-content-banner\">\r\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/funeralocity.com\/average-funeral-price\" class=\"single-content-banner__image\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"desktop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_1_desktop.png\" alt=\"Compare the cost of funerals in your city\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"tablet\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_1_tablet.png\" alt=\"Compare the cost of funerals in your city\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mobile\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_1_mobile.png\" alt=\"Compare the cost of funerals in your city\">\r\n                <\/a>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n\n<p>According to the National Funeral Directors Association, fewer than 25% of all funeral homes have pricing information posted on their website. Funeralocity works to make the funeral industry more transparent. As a funeral comparison website, Funeralocity lists the pricing of vendors all over the U.S. Members of their team called thousands of funeral homes to gather this information. Reggie stated, \u201cAbout 86% of people only call one funeral director; nobody makes a second call.\u201d It\u2019s understandable that grieving loved ones want to move quickly so that they can send out funeral invitations to the deceased\u2019s friends and family. By using Funeralocity, they can browse funeral homes in their area to find the best price.\r\n    <div class=\"single-content-banner\">\r\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/funeralocity.com\/cremationclub\" class=\"single-content-banner__image\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"desktop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_2_desktop.png\" alt=\"Advanced directive planning - for peace of mind\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"tablet\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_2_tablet.png\" alt=\"Advanced directive planning - for peace of mind\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mobile\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_2_mobile.png\" alt=\"Advanced directive planning - for peace of mind\">\r\n                <\/a>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2891","press","type-press","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"section_type":"in_the_news","news_image":"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/funeralocity\/images\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1599019470\/6\/6.png?_i=AA","full_width_image":false,"show_on_page":[],"popularity":"0"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.7 (Yoast SEO v17.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Funeralocity Reveals Funeral Home Pricing - Knowledge Center<\/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\/funeralocity-in-the-delaware-business-times-discussing-funeral-costs-in-wilmington\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Funeralocity Reveals Funeral Home Pricing\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"WILMINGTON, DE, November 15, 2019 \u2013 The Delaware Business Times posted a story covering the cost of end-of-life services in the Wilmington area.
