Sympathex has followed a unique path since it originally started operations. The idea was to provide grieving individuals a cost effective option to the traditional funeral home model. To that end we started by introducing a significantly more efficient business model. To start, product would be purchased directly from manufactures and growers - this eliminated the wholesalers (middleman) from the equation which greatly decreased Cost of Goods and provided us with superior product for less money. The next step was to market, sell and ship our own products. An average Funeral Home funeral costs @ $8,000.00 - over 70% of that cost is the casket and flowers.  By offering these products at significantly lower margins and superior purchasing power we can save the average individual upwards to 50% off the cost of a comparable funeral service.
