he Funeral Industry needs to change, it all comes down to hurt customers. States that protect funeral directors as the only sellers of Caskets need to give up their funeral cartel laws. There needs to be free enterprise, so that appropriate funeral costs can be applied in the current double dipped recession.
True supply and demand need to apply to the funeral industry. It should not be that Catholic monks in Louisiana are not allowed to sell pine boxes to support themselves, just because funeral directors want to protect their market.
Hurt families only result from price fixing funeral cost.
“What I’m talking about is a way to do funerals and death honestly and affordable. Not in a way where the person has to make this extremely expensive decision with a numb brain, and an air to “just get the job done”. That’s what I did. While my funeral service was great, and lovely, was it worth $10,000 for a few hours to place him in the ground? He would have hated that it cost that much to die.
The funeral business is a nasty one, plain and simple. They’re out for our money based on our weak, heartbroken selves. Something needs to change.
Plan ahead, save yourself some money. In the meantime, let’s keep aware and help our loved ones through this process in a sensible manner when they cannot make those decisions for themselves.”-via crazywidow.info
