In a recent blog post Todd Van Beck has insulted the Funeral Industry, and American Consumers-specifically the Baby Boomers and The American Funeral Consumer.

Here is a snippet from his post.

“The overall results of the Gallup Poll, which really focus in getting the opinions of the common ordinary folk, you know the Archie and Edith Bunkers of the world, who are the substance of the funeral profession, have concluded that Nurses literally shine in the public’s ethics opinion and Bankers have fallen from ethical grace in a big way – surprise of surprises.

Anyway here are the top ethical careers for 2008, in rank order:

1.      Nurses

2.      Pharmacists

3.      High School teachers

4.      Medical doctors

5.      Police officers

6.      Clergy

7.      Funeral Directors

8.      Accountants”via www.iccfa.com

Todd Van Beck has given us a substandard blog post by calling Funeral Directors “Ethical”.

1.Firstly the Gallup survey was done before the exposure of the 1 Billion Dollar National Prearranged Services Scandal and the 100+ million Dollar IFDA(Illinois Funeral Directors Association)Preneed Trust Scandal where money was taken from Funeral Directors and Funeral Consumers. Many members of the public still are not aware of these tragic events.

2.Secondly no American individual or couple alive today would count it a complement to be called ARCHIE and EDITH BUNKER.

3.Thirdly There is a legitimate place in the Funeral Industry and for Funeral Directors to speak up for the Funeral Consumer.

Congrats Mr. Beck Your Blog and Website has made into the top ten anti funeral consumer websites on the internet.
