Average Cost of a Funeral In the United States, the average cost of a funeral is roughly $6,560, according to a 2010 National Funeral Directors Association survey. The $6,560 price includes the typically chosen items for a conventional funeral, like a funeral ceremony, car service, casket, and so on.
If you know what it costs to have a funeral today -- and if you consider what it might cost 10 or 20 or 30 years from now -- maybe you'll think again about the notion of paying today's prices for tomorrow's funeral.Funeral prices vary almost as widely in Chicago as they do across the state and the nation.According to the National Funeral Directors' Association, the average cost of an adult funeral in the U.S. is between $5,000-$7,000.nd though the FFD doesn't keep statistics for Cook County by itself, it's understood that in and around Chicago, prices are higher still -- and in some areas, significantly higher. People pay an average of about $8,000 for a funeral at Kynion's Hanekamp Funeral Home.
