Funerals have expenses you might not notice, like extra treats at a party you didn’t expect.
Imagine you’re having a birthday party, and you think it’s just cake and balloons, but then there are ice cream sundaes, confetti cannons, and even a mini dance-off. That's kind of what happens with funerals: they have hidden costs that add up, like the extra treats at your party.
The Hidden Costs
- Flowers: People often send flowers to show love, it’s like sending balloons for the birthday party.
- Music and Songs: Music plays during a funeral, just like songs play at your party.
- Special Clothes: Sometimes people wear special clothes or suits, like wearing a party hat.
- Food and Drinks: There might be food and drinks served after the funeral, similar to cake and juice at your party.
These are all things that make the funeral feel more personal and joyful, just like how extra treats make your birthday even better. Sometimes, these little things add up to bigger amounts, but they’re all part of making the day special.
Examples
- A family is surprised by a $100 fee for the funeral director’s transportation.
- The cost of flowers at the funeral was higher than expected.
