Also look into pre-planning funeral costs and get it in writing.
Be warned. Almost everything in the industry (funeral homes and cemeteries) is currently being bought up by a certain corporation entity with the initials D.M. Almost every single one of our local family business options were, plus the cemetery in another state. I was shaking my head in disbelief.
But there were still a few independents around. For now.
And the prices? Through the roof Alice. Instead of a thousand for basic cremation, it was five ten twenty. Some wanted four grand just for the consultation process. Yeah.. You want an open casket full service? That's where the finance advisor starts nag-calling a dozen times a week to set up a layaway payment plan and get your down payment asap. Hard sell b.s. vultures.
