Funeral Facts

Purchasing a hand-crafted, affordable casket from Nothing but Nature can help families greatly reduce funeral costs.

• It is estimated that Americans arrange more than two million funerals per year. At a potential cost of $10,000 per funeral, it pays to be informed.

• The Federal Trade Commission requires all funeral providers to allow families to use caskets which they acquire from alternative sources. All mortuaries are obligated to use the casket you provide and cannot refuse third-party caskets or charge a handling fee. (FTC rule 16 CFR, part 453) You may save between 50% and 80% of the funeral cost by providing your own casket.

• Embalming is not mandatory for cremation and direct burial. You can avoid this unnecessary cost--ask your funeral director not to embalm.

• In Ohio, family members have the legal right to care for their dead without enlisting the services of a funeral provider. If you live in a rural area, it is even possible to bury your loved one on your own property.
