Getting Funeral Prices in Reading
Under the FTC Funeral Rule, every funeral home in Reading must provide you with an itemized General Price List (GPL) upon request. You can ask for this over the phone, and they are required to give it to you — no name, address, or other information required.
When comparing prices, focus on these key items: the basic services fee (non-declinable), transfer of remains, and either direct cremation or traditional burial costs depending on your needs. The difference between the most and least expensive options in a single city can be thousands of dollars.
National median funeral cost: $8,300 (burial), $6,280 (cremation). Source: NFDA 2023. Prices on this page are sourced from published GPLs and family-submitted data. Always confirm current pricing directly with the funeral home.
