Sunshine Cremation Is Fighting Back Against High Funeral Costs

Li koute chè pou mouri nan Florid.  

Konbyen li koute?

Pri mwayèn yon fineray ak vizit ak seremoni, ki te swiv pa antèman, nan Boca Raton se apeprè $17,000 (dapre Asosyasyon Nasyonal Direktè Fineray yo ak sit entènèt konsomatè PerfectGoodbyes la).  

Let me repeat that….it can cost up to $17,000 to die in Boca Raton if no prearrangements are in place and the deceased is buried.  

I don’t know about you, but I think that $17,000 is obscene and unacceptable. The cost of a funeral includes all sorts of “stuff” that is required by cemeteries and funeral homes, but, in reality, isn’t needed. And the average cost of cremation in South Florida isn’t much less.  

Among the items that are “required” are cemetery vaults (they are not required by law but are a profit opportunity for most cemeteries), embalming, and ridiculously expensive caskets. 

Why Do Funerals Cost So Much?  

Endistri fineray la te pase plizyè dizèn ane ap konsolide antrepriz yo. Rezon ki fè gwo konpayi fineray ak simityè ki kontwole pa Wall Street yo te pran kontwòl biznis familyal lokal yo se te paske konsolidasyon an t ap diminye pri pou konsomatè yo. 

Kòporasyon yo te diskite ke pi gwo efikasite ta lakòz pi ba depans fonksyònman epi pri konsomatè yo ta bese. 

Oke, li pa ta dwe yon sipriz ke konsolidatè antrepriz yo te bay manti lè yo te fè deklarasyon sa yo. 

Instead of lower costs being passed on to consumers, the large funeral companies used their market power to raise prices and increase shareholder profits, executive pay, and bonuses. 

As a recent set of articles describes, “big funeral” companies are not consumer advocates, and funeral expenses are now out of reach for most families. 

Dapre Victoria Haneman, yon pwofesè nan Lekòl Dwa Inivèsite Creighton

Gras a efò Big Funeral, endistri a gen monopoli sou lavi apre lanmò – epi l ap mete pri sou kote pou moun pa mouri.  

Sa ou bezwen konnen…

1. Sunshine Cremation se pa yon gwo konpayi fineray. Nou se yon konpayi lokal ki posede epi kontwole epi nou pa gen okenn obligasyon pou envestisè ki soti lòt bò dlo k ap eseye fè lajan rapid.  
2. Sunshine Cremation has cremation plans starting at $0 and rising to $1,495 for including a free urn ($200 to $400 estimated retail value). The free cremation plans require body donation to science, with cremated remains being returned to the family at the end of the research process.  
3. Sunshine Cremation pa kwè ke depanse plis nan yon fineray oswa yon kremasyon se yon ekspresyon lanmou pou moun ki mouri a. 
4. We do not upsell, and we never suggest a more expensive alternative when a less costly solution is available.  
5. We try to do the right thing every time.  We know that every family we care for is vulnerable, and we do our best to protect each customer from those who want to take advantage of this unique moment of vulnerability.  

These are just a few of the reasons Sunshine Cremation Services has the most 5-star Google Reviews in South Florida and is #1 Yelp-rated.
