In Oregon, the going range for funeral runs from about $3,367 to $11,110 per job, centred near $6,116. Use the low end as your best case and the high end as your safety margin.

What moves the price of funeral

Scope is the biggest lever on funeral pricing. Ask what is included and what is not, then compare the same job across providers. A wider scope at a lower rate can still cost more than a narrow scope at a higher one.

Timing your funeral

Plan funeral around demand, not just around your own calendar. Whoever has capacity when you call has more reason to price competitively.

Getting quotes for funeral

When you collect funeral quotes, note the date and the expiry. A quote that is not held open for a reasonable period is not a firm price.

How to compare quotes for funeral

Line the funeral quotes up side by side and ask what changes the price after acceptance. That one question exposes most of the gap between the $3,367 low end and the $11,110 high end.

Budgeting for funeral
