SPRINGFIELD, IL, November 14, 2019 \u2014 WICS ABC 20 aired a story<\/a> that covered the reaction of local residents and funeral home directors after Funeralocity ranked the Springfield area as one of the country\u2019s 10 most expensive places for a funeral service. According to data based on the prices of thousands of funeral homes, Funeralocity stated that the average funeral cost almost $9,000 in Springfield. When asked how much he paid for a funeral service, one local resident said, \u201cI purchased [one] for myself that was $7,000, so that’s below the average and that’s a base one. That\u2019s certainly base.\u201d He continued by saying the cost of end-of-life services are often made more difficult because funeral homes ask customers to pay the costs up front rather than in installments. Research by the National Funeral Directors Association found that fewer than 25% of all funeral homes in the U.S. list their prices on their website. In general, the only way to get pricing information is to call or stop by the funeral home\u2019s location.\r\n
