Your Funeral Guy: AP article wrong on NFDA Convention and Funeral Cost.
Your Funeral Guy: AP article is wrong on NFDA (National Funeral Directors Association)Convention and Funeral Cost. The lower cost funeral option was left out. The Associated Press article was carried everywhere from Time, CNN to Fox News and many local news outlets.
Not only was the low cost funeral option left out the leader of– preneed companies “The Foresight Companies” almost made the death of loved ones totally insignificant by this statement.
Other than the fatality, what’s the difference between a wedding and a funeral?” he asked.This presents another strong reason why you should not prepay a funeral –purchasing preneed. The statement is cold and shows disrespect for Grieving families.
Please investigate your lower cost funeral options. There are many blog posts here that help with this.
Perhaps the article should not be entitled:
“Baby boomers’ deaths may fuel funeral industry”
but instead titled:
“Baby boomers’ deaths fuel Lower Cost Funeral Movement.”
I am not prepared to write about this at this time but instead will blog in the future about the looming financial and corruption scandal in the funeral industry. This will be of Wall Street proportion.
