A funeral is a very important event, when we say goodbye to our loved ones. There are many factors to consider when choosing a funeral, the most important of which is budget. In Budapest, a cremation funeral is generally cheaper than a coffin funeral.

The average price for a cremation funeral is between HUF 200,000 and 500,000, while a coffin funeral costs between HUF 800,000 and 1,500,000. Cremation makes the funeral cheaper, as there is no need to buy a burial plot. The ashes can be scattered, placed in an urn or even buried in an urn burial plot.

A coffin funeral is more expensive, but more faithful to tradition. In a coffin funeral, the body is placed in the grave in a coffin. The cost of the grave space has a significant impact on the overall cost of a coffin burial.

The choice will depend on the family's preferences and available funds. Cremation burials are becoming increasingly popular in Budapest, but coffin burials remain the preferred form of burial for many.
