ABC Caskets Factory, Los Angeles

COMPARE PRICES TO AVOID OVERPAYING FOR A FUNERAL

Most cemeteries and mortuaries sell over-priced funeral products and services. When a death occurs at home or at a rest home, you must find a mortuary immediately. At that time people are emotionally upset, unable to think clearly, and without enough time to comparison shop for the many components of a funeral. Picking the cemetery and/or mortuary closest to your home, that you've heard advertised on the radio, or that you have used before can result in your overpaying by thousands of dollars.

TESTIMONIAL

"The luckiest thing that happened to my siblings and me as we planned our mother's funeral was getting referred to ABC Caskets Factory, where the owners Joey and Isabelle give way more than is expected. First, a fine, tasteful, well-built casket at a price lower than Costco's. And they stayed open late, twice, to be there for us, when my mom was in the hospital and we couldn't make it during business hours. BUT THE AMAZING PART was that Isabelle gave me cost-saving referrals for other funeral services--the mortuary, cemetery plot and gravestone that saved my family $3,750. No kidding. My sister, a very savvy accountant, and I had done our research in advance and had a budget. Isabelle took a look, slashed the budget to shreds, and we came out the winners. Fantastic resource at a difficult time." --Sylvia T, Los Angeles, CA

BEWARE OF COSTLY TRAPS

PACKAGE DEALS. In a package deal, the mortuary offers a casket with a discount along with other items and services. The mortuary stresses the discount on the casket but remains silent about the inflated prices of the other items in the package. The inflated price of the rest of the package can amount to several thousand dollars more than the discount offered on the casket. If you want to buy a casket from an outside casket seller, the mortuary will inform you that you will lose the casket discount. Since your mind is focused on the casket discount, you take the package deal and end up overpaying for the funeral.

HIGH CHARGE FOR SWITCHING MORTUARIES. In the past, you could easily save by switching to a lower cost mortuary. Now, some mortuaries are nearly tripling their charge for picking up the body from about $395 to over $1000. This greatly decreases your ability to cut funeral costs. To avoid this problem, call us so that we may help you initially find an affordable mortuary.
