Common questions
How much does a funeral cost in Kansas City?
It varies widely by the choices you make. A full traditional funeral with burial commonly runs several thousand to $10,000+, while a direct cremation is far less (often about $1,000–$3,000). Under the FTC Funeral Rule, every funeral home must give you an itemized price list, so it pays to compare two or three. See our guide to paying for a funeral.
What is the FTC Funeral Rule?
A federal consumer-protection rule: funeral homes must provide itemized pricing (a General Price List), let you buy only the goods and services you want, quote prices over the phone, and let you use a casket or urn purchased elsewhere without an extra fee. It is your best tool for avoiding overpaying.
Do veterans get help with funeral and burial costs?
Yes. Eligible veterans can receive free burial in a national or state veterans cemetery, a burial allowance, a headstone or marker, and a burial flag. See our veterans benefits guide, and tell the funeral home the person was a veteran.
