The average cost of cremation in the US is between $2,000 and $4,000. The average cost of a funeral in the US is between $7,000 and $10,000. The Social Security Death Benefit is $255. For people who have life insurance this is probably just a help for paying flower arrangement bills. For poor people, myself included, this is a very scary number. I am 69 years old and have no life insurance because I can not afford the monthly payments on my only income from Social Security Retirement of $850 per month. I truly hope you will sign this petition and help our seniors have one less thing weighing heavy on their minds. Thank you.
