We surveyed funeral homes in our area and found that families who choose Newcomer save hundreds, even thousands of dollars.


In February 2024, pricing surveys were conducted of local funeral homes. In order to compare “apples to apples,” prices were requested for a direct cremation and a funeral service, utilizing individual line items from each firm's General Price List. A funeral service includes transportation of the body into the funeral home's care, embalming and other preparation of the deceased, a service fee of the funeral director and staff, a viewing (3 hours) and funeral ceremony and the use of a hearse. The prices do not include a casket, burial vault, memorial package or limousine. Providers may change their prices without notice and may offer package discounts or discounts made available only if specific merchandise or services are purchased through the funeral home. The prices are accurate, based upon the information obtained during the survey.

Quality service at a price you can afford

We keep our prices low by choosing to accept less profit than other funeral homes, but we never compromise on quality. Read what others have to say about our services here.

Caskets & Vaults

Caskets are available in many types of materials, and there are many ways in which they can be personalized to reflect the life of your loved one.

Personalization options for the casket

By Tukios Websites • February 14, 2024
Caskets are available in many types of materials and designs. After you select a casket, your funeral director can share with you the many personalization options available to you. Some caskets come with panels inside the lid that you can slip photographs or memorabilia into, or are embroidered to illustrate favorite pastimes, interests and special relationships. Other caskets allow decorative medallions to be attached to the lid. These medallions are also available in pocket-sized engraved keepsakes. Special designs may be added to the corner of the casket to express the interests of your loved one. These corners come in many designs and celebrate relationships, spirituality, affiliations, professions, hobbies and interests. Later, you can add the decorative corner to a keepsake plaque with a photo holder and engravable plate. Other caskets include a special shelf that pulls out of the casket lid, allowing you to display keepsakes and photographs during the visitation and viewing. Please ask your funeral director for more information about any of these options.

Metal Caskets

By Tukios Websites • February 14, 2024
A casket serves as the final resting place for your loved one during the funeral and after burial. Caskets are available in many types of materials, including precious metals such as bronze and copper, steel, and fine-quality woods such as mahogany, cherry and oak. Metal caskets appeal to many people because of the wide variety of styles, designs and colors available. Bronze, a semi-precious material alloy, is the strongest and longest-lasting of any casket construction material. Bronze is resistant to corrosive elements, and makes an elegant, exquisite remembrance. Copper, a precious metal, is known for its longevity, beauty and resistance to corrosion. Copper is one-third stronger than stainless steel, and its combination of strength and beauty helps memorialize a remarkable life. Stainless steel, an alloy of carbon steel and chromium, provides strength and resistance to corrosion at an economical price. Steel, known for its affordability and long-lasting performance, is one of the most popular of casket materials. From the highest quality 16-gauge to a minimum quality 20-gauge, thickness determines the general quality and price. Your funeral director will show you all of the options available, including ways that you can make your loved one’s casket even more unique with personalized decorations and keepsakes.

Why do I need a vault?

By Tukios Websites • February 14, 2024
Many families ask us about the need for a burial vault, wondering why it is necessary. It works like this. The casket encloses the body, and the outer burial container (known as a vault) encloses the casket, sustaining the weight of the earth and protecting it from the elements. Most cemeteries require an outer burial container of some kind to protect the grave space from the settling earth and heavy machinery. Lined burial vaults provide the most protection to the casket. This example shows the impact of settling and machinery on a grave space with no vault, an unlined outer burial container, and a lined burial vault. Vaults are available in precious metals such as bronze and copper, stainless steel and concrete. To see a selection of vaults as well as our other services and merchandise, please talk to your funeral director or go to our Online Funeral Planner .

Wood caskets

By Tukios Websites • February 13, 2024
A casket serves as the final resting place for your loved one during the funeral and after burial. Caskets are available in many types of materials, including precious metals such as bronze and copper, steel, and fine-quality woods such as mahogany, cherry and oak. Wooden caskets appeal to many people, including carpenters, wood workers, anyone who loves fine furniture or prefers natural materials. Wooden caskets are often hand-sculpted and polished to a fine finish. Just as every tree is unique, no two wooden caskets are identical. Each has a unique warmth and beauty of its own. Wooden veneer caskets provide a less-expensive and sustainable alternative to premium hardwoods. With these caskets, real wood veneers are applied to engineered wood. Engineered wood is made from the remains of the tree after it has been milled into lumber. The fibers are cleaned and mixed with adhesive resins to provide strength and durability. This engineered wood allows more than 95% of the tree to be used, reducing the number of trees harvested. Your funeral director will show you all of the options available, including ways that you can make your loved one’s casket even more unique with personalized decorations and keepsakes.

What size of marker do I need?

By Tukios Websites • February 14, 2024
Cemetery markers and monuments come in many different sizes. When choosing a size, you will want to consider how it will fit at the cemetery plot. You don’t want a marker that is too small or too large for the space. The illustrations show three sizes of markers set at one grave space for an individual or two grave spaces for companions. Your cemetery will have certain rules that determine the sizes of markers and monuments allowed. We can work with you and your cemetery to ensure that your marker fits within their regulations. Please call us for more information, or to design a marker or monument online, please visit our marker design tool.

Types of cemetery markers

By Tukios Websites • February 14, 2024
A cemetery marker is a permanent memorial to your loved one that honors their life and marks their final resting place. It also provides a place for future generations to gather and remember.  Cemetery markers can be crafted from granite or bronze. Granite is a beautiful, natural material that comes in many different colors, depending on where in the world it was formed. Bronze is a metal alloy, composed of copper and tin. It has been used since ancient times in sculptures and memorials. Markers generally come in two types; upright markers which rise above the ground, and flat markers, which are set flush with the earth. Each cemetery has their own rules that determine which types of markers are allowed. These markers and monuments are created for individuals, companions and sometimes entire families. Bronze or granite vases can be attached to most types of marker so you can add flowers and decorations throughout the year. You may be interested in a larger monument such as a bench or family mausoleum. We work directly with a quarry and can assist you in the entire process of designing a custom marker or monument.
