2025 Midlands Phone Survey
A quick telephone survey looking at funeral home prices for three items on the General Price List (GPL): basic services (the charge for general operating expenses, which all clients are required to pay), immediate burial (not including the price of the casket), and direct cremation (including the cost of the funeral home’s least
expensive cremation container). We focused the study on three Midlands communities—Camden, Orangeburg, and Sumter—where we had never performed surveys.
