That could be what the state allows them to pay, and they could have a small balance left. When my dad died, his care and burial was $7100.00. So when my mom paid for his, she prepaid hers, for identical everything. The only thing I didn't care for was her selection of caskets. Too plain. But I found out when I lost my first husband in 1980, the caskets available at the funeral home I chose ranged in price from $150.00 to $3500.00! His was $945.00$7500 is super inexpensive for a funeral, IMO
