My father passed in '21 we just got his headstone put in. $3700 and that was because we buried him in a private cemetery that belongs to my church and they don’t have any INSANE requirements. We had to wait 8 months for the granite stone to come in from MFing Italy.
My boss’s father passed and they buried him in a more… Conglomerate let’s call it, cemetery and they had to buy the headstone specifically from their own people. Cost them 10k about!
It’s such a freaking racquet!

My grandmother recently died and she prearranged everything, from where the service would be, to the coffin, to the plot and headstone.
I dread at what the cost would be if we had ti pay out of pocket for all of this. She had an open casket, will be buried with her husband, and so on.
It is a racket, with my dad we had him cremated and aservice and I think it was about 3k if memory serves.
