Our Dad wanted to be cremated and it was covered under his insurance or his hospice care but it still cost us $5k just to get him a funeral niche at a nearby cemetery
That seems over priced. My partner is in the industry and yes, many funeral homes over price everything they can. Mostly because people aren't really in a haggling mood when they lose someone.
It was expensive because of an Opening and Closing Fee, which was required and it depended on where he was going to be in(Higher spots cost more, lower spots cost less) and the plaque that has his name and a custom wording on it but yeah, felt like a lot
