Many families today are making different choices when it comes to honoring their loved ones.
I recently read an article in the February 2024 edition of Newsmax titled, “Funerals Are Dying Out.” The article noted that more Americans are choosing simpler, lower-cost services and, in many cases, virtual memorials instead of traditional funerals.
According to the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA), the median cost of a traditional funeral is approximately $6,280, while direct cremation averages about $2,495. For families already living paycheck to paycheck, these expenses can be overwhelming.
As a funeral home director, you’ve likely experienced situations where families want to provide a meaningful service but are concerned about the financial burden. At Herman Merchant Services, we can help.
Our cloud-based payment platform includes a secure recurring payment solution that allows families to spread funeral expenses into affordable monthly payments.
This gives them greater financial flexibility while helping your funeral home collect payments more efficiently.
If your current merchant services provider doesn’t offer recurring payments—or if you’d simply like to see what options are available—I would welcome the opportunity to have a brief conversation.
Sometimes a simple payment option can make a difficult time a little easier for the families you serve.
