Why we publish prices
Because most funeral homes don't, and that's the problem. Surveys consistently show that grieving families overpay by 20–40% because they cannot or will not comparison-shop in the first 48 hours after a death. We don't think that's a sustainable business model — for them or for us.
Marker's prices are the same on the website as they are on the contract you sign. Unless you add an option, the number you see here is the number you pay.
