Home Funeral Information & Pricing

Prices effective March 1, 2023, but subject to change without notice.

With a home funeral, family or friends take charge of caring for the body after death, either alone or with the assistance of a funeral professional. A home vigil can last anywhere from one hour to 3 days. The family may choose to have their loved one at home, washing and dressing the body, arrange for a casket or shroud, prepare the necessary documents, hold a vigil or ceremony, and/or transport the body to the cemetery or crematory themselves.

We also understand that not everyone wants to handle all the facets of having a funeral for a loved one at home. Maybe you only desire the quiet intimacy the home funeral vigil offers, but not the administrative or hands-on portion. The following package price includes the staff of Brandenburg & Stein Funeral Parlor to assist with all aspects of the home funeral experience.
