I went online to search for providers.
Here are the three that I found.
Note: These rates are from June 2018.
Here are some notes about the service providers that we considered:
Since the Philippines is a dominantly Catholic country, we wanted to make sure that the service provider was okay with a Christian service. So all three of these service providers said that they are good with having a Christian funeral service at their location.
All the service providers offered the same services.
Funeral service packages covers:
Some Notes:

Loyola is really popular. It is also a memorial park. I have friends and family buried here.
We considered Loyola because it’s what we intend to be the internment location.

The cost of their package is:
Php 70,000 regular price and Php 50,000 for senior citizen.
Casket is made from wood and the color is white.
The viewing service chapel can accommodate 20-30 people and the package allows four days viewing.
Internment at their location is Php 26,000 if you already have a lot in their location.
At the time of this writing you can expect to spend Php 200,000 or so for a premium lot.
We ended up going with Arlingon for the viewing location because of convenience and Loyola with the internment.
