Planning a Funeral/ Dealing With Loss

Here are Funeral Directors' Associations sites for several states: Conneticut, New Jersey, and New York

You might not like the analogy, but it's a helpful one. Planning a funeral is like buying a new car - and this is important to remember. Mainly, you need to remember two things:

  1. You need to be an informed consumer. (The sites above will prepare you.)
  2. You need to shop around and compare prices.

There can be quite a difference - both in quality and in price. These two basic practices can save you thousands of dollars.
