Funeral Price List Decoder
Example session with this skill installed
My father passed. Funeral home price list: basic services fee $2,450; embalming $795; 'other preparation' $350; viewing $525; funeral ceremony at their chapel $650; hearse $395; casket from $1,200 to $8,500; direct cremation $1,895; immediate burial $2,950; 'Traditional Package' $8,900 includes basic services, embalming, viewing, ceremony, hearse, and a $2,400 casket. We want a viewing and a service, then cremation. Budget matters. Help me read this.

Funeral price decode: [home] · viewing + service, then cremation · [date]
I'm sorry about your father. Here is the price list read plainly, so the money decisions can be made once and put down.
The non-declinable floor: basic-services fee $2,450 · direct-cremation benchmark $1,895 · immediate-burial benchmark $2,950
Line-by-line
| Item | Price | Class | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic services fee | $2,450 | mandatory | The one fee that can't be declined; covers arrangements, permits, coordination |
| Embalming | $795 | required-if-chosen | Generally required only for a public viewing with an open casket; not required for cremation or a closed-casket viewing in many places — verify locally |
| "Other preparation" | $350 | declinable | Ask what it includes; dressing and cosmetology are often bundled here and can be declined if there's no open casket |
| Viewing | $525 | required-if-chosen | You want this; the price is the facility use |
| Ceremony at chapel | $650 | required-if-chosen | Compare with a service at your place of worship or at the crematorium |
| Hearse | $395 | declinable | Not needed if the body goes directly from the home to the crematory |
| Casket $1,200–$8,500 | varies | required-if-chosen | For a viewing-then-cremation, ask about a rental casket with a cremation container; often $700–$1,200 total |
| Direct cremation | $1,895 | benchmark | Includes the basic fee in most price lists; ask whether it does here |
Package check: "Traditional Package" at $8,900 vs unbundled: $2,450 + $795 + $525 + $650 + $395 + $2,400 casket = $7,215 →
difference $1,685, and the package is built for burial, not your plan. Bundled declinables: hearse, and the casket tier.
Your plan, itemised: basic fee $2,450 + viewing $525 + ceremony $650 + rental casket and cremation container (~$900, quote it) + cremation fee (ask whether it's the $1,895 direct-cremation price less the basic fee already paid, typically leaving ~$600–$900) + embalming only if an open-casket viewing requires it ($795) → roughly
$5,100–$6,300, versus $8,900 for a package that doesn't match what you want.
Decline-safely list: hearse (no procession) · "other preparation" (unless open casket; ask what it is) · the casket purchase (rental for viewing) · embalming, if the viewing is closed-casket or brief and local rules allow — verify locally.
Questions for the director — "We'd like a viewing and a service here, then cremation. Could you price that itemised rather than as the package?" · "What does 'other preparation' include?" · "Do you offer a rental casket for the viewing?" · "Is embalming required for the viewing we're describing?" · "Does the cremation fee include the basic services fee we're already paying?"
Across homes (like-for-like: viewing + chapel service + cremation, rental casket)
| Home | Basic fee | This funeral, itemised | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| This home | $2,450 | ~$5,100–$6,300 | Package not suited to the plan |
| [Second home, if you get a list] | Ask for the general price list in writing; they must provide it in the US |
Consumer information, not legal advice. Itemisation rights, embalming rules, and casket-acceptance duties vary by country; the strongest stated protections referenced here are US (FTC Funeral Rule) — verify locally elsewhere. None of this arithmetic is a comment on how much anyone loved anyone.

About this skill
The problem
Funeral pricing is decided by people who are grieving, in a room designed to make cost feel like love. Packages bundle items that can be declined, the basic services fee is the only true floor, and nobody explains which is which.
What it does
- Classifies every item on the general price list: mandatory, required-if-chosen, declinable, pass-through.
- Unbundles any package and re-prices it from the itemized list to show the difference.
- Names the decline-safely list with a one-line reason for each.
- Gives warm phrasings for the questions that get numbers from the director.
- Compares homes like-for-like when more than one price list is provided.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
A general prompt gives average funeral costs. This skill reads the specific price list, applies the itemisation rights that exist in many jurisdictions, and does the arithmetic gently, never equating cost with love.
Use cases
- Choosing between a $9,800 package and an itemized arrangement.
- Understanding what the basic services fee covers.
- Comparing two funeral homes for the same service.
- Planning ahead for a parent and want the numbers first.
Known limitations
Consumer information, not legal advice. Itemisation rights, embalming rules, and casket-acceptance duties vary by country; the strongest protections referenced are US federal rules, verify elsewhere. Every figure is arithmetic on the price list provided, nothing more.
