Washington Post did a story and a video on Customer Thrift killing the Funeral Industry

According to the Washington Post The Funeral industry is getting a burial and maybe the NFDA -National Funeral Directors Association as well. Two reporters showed up for an NFDA advocacy summit Press Conference. The Washington Post did an article on the press conference and in their video appeared to be almost “making fun” of the NFDA and the Funeral Industry.

“The Funeral business is getting a  burial”, “Even the Funeral Industry has one foot in the grave.” Perhaps heaven should lower it’s admission fee?”

NFDA leaders appearred to make  a few crazy statements like folks are turning to Bazooka bubble gum at visitations (said Patrick Lynch NFDA Treasurer), others are serving cheese and crackers instead of full funeral meals said another leader.

The article mentioned that the Funeral Industry failed to get a bailout and qualify directly for a government stimulus.
