When comparing funeral arrangements, green burial requirements also vary by cemetery and jurisdiction. For this funeral or cemetery question, a written General Price List or other itemized quote makes it much easier to compare providers on the same services. When comparing funeral arrangements, a memorial service can often be held outside a funeral home, but permits or venue rules may apply. Get a written line by line breakdown of the charges, and verify any stated requirement before paying by checking whether it comes from law, cemetery policy, or the provider itself.
