Understanding Funeral Costs Starts With a Conversation

No two families are alike, and no two funerals are exactly the same. That's why there isn't a single price for funeral services.

At Renaissance Funeral Home, we begin by listening. We'll explain your options, answer your questions, and help you understand how different choices affect the overall cost. Before you make any decisions, you'll receive a clear, itemized estimate so you know exactly what is included.

Our goal isn't to fit your family into a package. It's to help you create a meaningful service that reflects your wishes and your budget.

Transparent, Itemized Pricing

You'll receive a clear, itemized estimate that explains exactly what you're choosing, what it costs, and why. No surprises, just honest information to help you make informed decisions.

Personalized, Never Packaged

Every family is different. Instead of asking you to choose from bundled packages, we'll help you select only the services and merchandise that reflect your wishes and priorities.

Guidance, Not Sales Pressure

Our role is to listen, answer your questions, and explain your options. We'll help you make informed decisions at your own pace, without pressure.

Care You Can Trust

From the first phone call through the final details, the person who died remains in the care of our experienced, compassionate team. We're here to support your family every step of the way.

What Makes One Funeral Cost More Than Another?

Several factors influence the cost of a burial or cremation.

Type of Disposition

Gathering for Visitation

Location of Service

Casket or Urn Selection

Type of Disposition

Cemetery or Third Party Expenses

Heather was very kind and showed compassion during a difficult time. The home is beautiful and welcoming. There is a warmth there that brings comfort in a time of sadness. We are rejoicing that Dad is with his savior Jesus Christ at last, and were comforted to have had those last poignant moments with him at Renaissance. Heartfelt thanks to the wonderful people there.

Never will I forget how they helped me and my family through the very difficult time of planning ahead, then honoring my beloved husband Robert in every way when he passed away. Nobody is ever ready for that final moment. Having such a caring team of genuinely kind and supportive people certainly made this special.
Our later Celebration of Life service was also handled in such a caring way and eased closure at the most difficult time for me.
Thank you all at Renaissance - I will always remember you, and of course highly recommend you.

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I pre-paid our funeral arrangements several years ago with Renaissance Funeral home. And when he passed in March it was so helpful to simply meet with them to verify that everything we did was still OK. From that point they were wonderful and caring as they maneuvered the details of the funeral and burial. I cannot say enough about what a
great job they did. The entire service/burial was perfectly arranged. I could not have been more pleased and I highly recommend them.

The staff at Renaissance Funeral Home were absolutely wonderful with navigating me through the process of planning my husband’s service. Amie Sexton, the funeral director, was so kind and patient with me, and offered some great ideas. I could not have been happier with the service and I have her to thank for it. Although I worked primarily with Amie, everyone I came into contact with was warm and friendly.  I highly recommend Renaissance Funeral Home.

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My mother passed away in Hospice March of this year and we had a 'Preneed' with Renaissance purchased over 3 years ago.  I was impressed with the staff's availability and sincerity.  Our mom passed on a Sunday evening and their 2 awesome staff members arrived within 40 min to the house and were amazing taking her.  They already had everything lined-up and we never worried about the execution of my mom's wishes.  They followed-up during the entire process and everything was handled perfectly by Amie with regards to certificates, government agency notifications, obituary website, etc. We were very impressed with their dedication to our family.  We are super grateful for their kindness and professionalism!  Thanks Renaissance!

It's obviously never a place you want to have to Google search to find, and I was very intimidated about what the process would be like, having never gone through it before, but Keri and her team could not have been more wonderful. She helped me through every step of the process and worked with me to ensure a beautiful memorial service for my father. Thank you so much! :)

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely 100% top-notch in every conceivable aspect. Prompt, sensitive, caring, diligent, patient, kind. There are just not enough adjectives. I chose Renaissance because of the overwhelmingly positive reviews and they were completely accurate. No one wants to go through this time with a loved one but one can only hope their experience with their chosen funeral home / crematory is as professional and caring as ours was. Could not recommend any higher.

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. During one of the most difficult moments of our family’s lives, the team at Renaissance Funeral Home especially Heather was so helpful in our journey.

Heather treated our my dad with the utmost From the very beginning, Heather guided us through every step with patience, care, and  incredible attention to the details. She anticipated needs we didn’t even know we had and handled every aspect of the process with a true white-glove level of service. During a time when emotions are overwhelming and decisions feel impossible, she created a sense of calm and reassurance that meant everything to our family.

The service itself was beautiful and deeply moving. Even the way the casket was closed was done with such reverence that someone in our family said it felt as if a prayer had been said beforehand. That moment captured the spirit of the entire experience thoughtful, sacred, and handled with profound respect.

Common Questions About Funeral Costs

How much does a funeral cost?

The cost of a funeral depends on the type of service you choose. Factors such as burial or cremation, visitation, ceremony location, casket or urn selection, and cemetery expenses all affect the total cost. We'll provide a clear, itemized estimate based on your family's choices before any decisions are made.

Why do funeral prices vary so much?

Every funeral is unique. Some families choose a simple cremation with no ceremony, while others plan a visitation, funeral service, procession, and cemetery burial. Because every family's wishes are different, the overall cost varies based on the services and merchandise selected.

Do you offer funeral packages?

No. We believe every family should have the freedom to choose only the services and merchandise that are meaningful to them. Rather than requiring you to purchase a package, we provide an itemized estimate based on your individual selections.

Will I receive an itemized estimate?

Yes. Before you make any decisions, we'll review a detailed estimate that clearly explains each service, merchandise item, and any third party charges so you understand exactly what is included.

Can I plan a meaningful service on a budget?

Absolutely. Meaningful doesn't have to mean expensive. We'll help you understand your options and create a service that reflects your wishes while respecting your budget.
