Funeral Costs Low
in Redwood County
Less Than Two Per Cent Over
$50O-Maj0rity Are :
Under $3.50

- IL. .
During the past three years there
were seven funerals in Redwood coun-
ty where the total expenditures ex-
ceeded $500. This information de-
rived from a survey recently conduct
ed by the Minnesota Funeral Direct
ors association, represents part Of a
statewide investigation by that or
ganization to determine facts on
funeral economics.
= "The fallacy Of a popular concep-
ton that $500 is bedrock charges for
funerals, is clearly refuted by statist-
les secured from Redwood county and
other sections Of Minnesota" said
Henry F. Dooley, Minneapolis, ex-
ecutive secretary of the state funeral
directors association.
Sworn statements Of Redwood
county funeral directors covering all
the adult funerals Jared for by them
during the past three years, not only
show that less than two per cent ag-
gregate expenditures of $500 each,
but that nearly seven times as many
came under the 500 mark. Tabula-
tions are based upon complete" fun
erals.
Ear from being fixed, funeral
costs vary widely, depending upon the
type of casket and vault selected.
This selection is governed entirely by
the family and depends upon its
taste, it's means and its state in life,
rather than upon any arbitrary die
tum of the funeral director. For in
stance, new dispatches reported
Thomas Edison was laid to rest in
a cast bronze, probably costing sew
eral thousand dollars. Families in
more humble circumstance would pa-
turally be obliged to govern their
selections accordingly.
The death rate in Redwood county
for 1880 as reported by the Division
of Vital Statistics, Minnesota Depart
ment of Health, was 7.08 per 1000
population, whereas the rate for the
state was 10.1.
