A Casket on sale at Walmart for less than $1000 USD
Connecting Directors.com and the Funeral Consumers Alliance are saying that the sale of third party & Walmart Caskets are causing funeral homes to raise their prices on their basic service fee.
The walmart casket purchase has the funeral industry up in arms. Finally after 17 years some funeral homes appear to be embracing third party caskets. This can be seen as good for the funeral consumer and coming in under the average cost of a funeral.
But at the same time many of these funeral homes are raising their basic service fees to compensate. Connecting directors.com is advocating this-essentially consumer rip off while the Funeral Consumers Alliance is reporting it as not a helpful thing to those who want to save on Funeral Expenses.
One thing is certain purchasing a casket at walmart will contribute to openness and honesty in the Funeral Industry.
Take note the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)has recently ruled that you can negotiate the basic services fee on alternative services. o this and you will come in under the average cost of a Funeral.
Funeral directors willingly accepting third party caskets and raising their basic service fee is significant funeral news.
