How this valuation is worked out
Funeral homes commonly trade at roughly 4 to 7 times EBITDA, with real estate often valued separately. Buyers focus on annual call volume, average revenue per call, cremation mix and the size and funding of the preneed backlog.
A worked example
A firm handling 240 calls a year at an average $5,600 per call, producing $420K of EBITDA. At 5.5× that is roughly $2.3M for the business, with the funeral home property appraised separately.

Common questions
What multiple do funeral homes sell for?
Roughly 4 to 7 times EBITDA, with owned property, crematory and any cemetery interests usually valued separately.
How does preneed affect the price?
A properly funded preneed backlog is an asset because it represents future calls, but buyers verify the trust or insurance funding carefully.
Does a rising cremation rate lower value?
It can, since cremation revenue per call is generally lower, though firms with strong cremation service offerings offset much of that.
