Yep...
Even cremations cost a lot more when you go through a funeral home.
We called all around New Orleans when my FIL died and we got prices between $800-$1200. We finally called the mortuary (where the cremation would be done anyway no matter what) and the charge was $400.
The rest of the service didn't cost us anything (Except for what we paid the soldiers who did the 21 gun salute etc) because he was in the military and we had a military funeral at a National Cemetery.
