Sorry to hear about your mother-in-law. You have my condolences.
Typical funeral here is around $6,000, give or take.
Sticks in my mind ten years ago, my mother's funeral was $5800, total. But, you're in Maryland and I'm in Nebraska. Our daughter lives in DC, so I'm aware of the price differences and not unfamiliar with your neck of the woods.
Then, too, there are a lot of variables, including how much competition there is between funeral homes and the ethics of a particular place. After all, they are dealing with people when they're grief stricken, vulnerable, and have a lot of decisions to make on the spot.
Several years ago, on a temporary gig, I spent one entire summer redoing the filing system at the largest cemetary and funeral home in Lincoln, NE. It was a real eye-opener. It definitely takes a special type of person to work in a funeral home, even if they're not a mortician, and those people don't come cheap. I was surprised at the turnover among the people who worked with families making arrangements, "Grief Counselers" as they were called. When one quit, he told me that even after six months he still couldn't face the fact that the only reason he had a job was because someone had died.
Probably more than you wanted to hear, but, again, you and your family have my condolences.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
