No Lower Cost: Funeral? Swine Flu-4WHO?

Swine Flu 4WHO?

Swine Flu 4WHO?

The Swine flu will cost the world hundred of millions and could take  down the economy of Mexico.  WHO -The World Health

Organization has put the pandemic index at 4. Here is how it works. A 4 in the pandemic index means “Verified human-to-human transmission able to cause community-level outbreaks. Significant increase in risk of a pandemic”


Phase 1: No viruses circulating among animals causing infections in humans
Phase 2: Animal influenza virus causes infection in humans, and is considered potential pandemic threat
Phase 3: Influenza causes sporadic cases in people, but no significant human-to-human transmission
Phase 4: Verified human-to-human transmission able to cause community-level outbreaks. Significant increase in risk of a pandemic
Phase 5: Human-to-human transmission in at least two countries. Strong signal pandemic imminent
Phase 6: Virus spreads to another country in a different region. Global pandemic under way”
Check out their website on Epidemic Alert and Response.
From the BBC

“The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised its alert level over swine flu from three to four – two steps short of declaring a full pandemic.

WHO Assistant Director General Dr Keiji Fukuda said it signaled a “significant step towards pandemic influenza”, but added “we are not there yet”.

The Virus that is spreading among humans has never been seen before. Government leaders in the USA are not saying this and neither is the media. This may be a deadly combo of swine, bird, and human flu. The human immune system has not dealt with this one till recently-so what happens next is anyone’s guess.

WILL IT CAUSE SUDDEN DEATH, Funerals, we do not know.

The map of the never been seen H1N1 possible  pandemic spread  from google is here:

Family Accident spurs request for 3 person coffin-Yourlowercostfuneralguy

Three Person Casket Requested.

Three Person Casket Requested.

Recently a mother in Arkansas took a wrong turn in Arkansas and her car plunged into a lake.  The mother asked for a Three person Coffin. She made  a Nobel attempt to rescue the three children who died. The story does arouse some suspicion. Mothers, cars in  lakes and children is often a deadly mix. Check out the chilling story.

Snippet: “Turley told authorities that she took a wrong turn early Sunday and wound up on what used to be a state highway, a road that now goes into Lake Brewer. Killed in the crash were Aaron, 8, Alex, 7, and Anthony, 2.”

As a Funeral director i have never heard the request for a 3person casket. The only one I have ever seen is in a museum pictured above. The  GAEA NEWS report states

“The mother of three young boys who died when their car plunged into a lake on a foggy night was trying to tend to her children just before the accident, the boys’ grandfather said Tuesday…..Turley told authorities that she took a wrong turn early Sunday and wound up on what used to be a state highway, a road that now goes into Lake Brewer. Killed in the crash were Aaron, 8, Alex, 7, and Anthony, 2……The children were pronounced dead at a hospital. A funeral was planned Wednesday, and funeral director Richard Neal said the family had asked “that all three boys be buried in the same casket.”

The Highest cost at at funerals is the death of the persons involved.

Virginia Reports Lower Cost Funerals.

Virginia has been reporting lower cost funerals.

Virginia has been reporting lower cost funerals.

The Commonwealth of Virginia has been reporting lower cost funerals. At some services these days the hearse may be missing, the limo gone, flowers and viewing time reduced. People are often are doing for cremations and conducting  the memorial service themselves. The low cost funeral  has been reported around the country by the Major News outlets. The latest to indicate the trend is Virginia.

According to an article at the dailypress.com  in Virginia. quotes a funeral director:

‘Mark Fisher, owner of M.E. Fisher Funeral Home in Newport News, noting that people are scaling back the amount of flowers, the types of caskets and the number of family limos.

Fisher said as people lose their jobs, they’re leaning more on family members for help.”Relatives who might have helped pay for flowers are now among four or five family members chipping in to pay funeral expenses,” he said.’

Now it appears that more and more folks are adjusting their funerals down in costs due to the fragile economy.

A Snippet from the DailyPress.com April 23rd 2009:

‘At the Cremation Society of Virginia, in Newport News, there are usually 30 cremations a month. Now they handle closer to 40 a month.
“I definitely think the economy has a lot to do with it, but that’s not the only reason,” said Mimi Smith, the society’s

vice president. “A lot of people just don’t want to be buried.”
The Cremation Society charges $695 for a basic cremation compared with the national average of $7,323 for a funeral.”

$695.00 is an excellent price for a cremation.

$7,323.00 was the average cost of a funeral in 2006 from the National Funeral Directors Association-NFDA.

I prefer to go with your funeral guy’s figure for a traditional funeral in 2009  which is $8,500.oo USD.

As the hard times remain with us Lower and Lower Goes the Funeral cost.

stewards of is failing.

In the fall of 2008 the fund was written down for $59 Million. GONE! Their  investors put money in  tune of $190 -Million in scandalous life insurance policies. The fund consisted of preneed funds for funerals for about 44,000 people in Illinois

Investigators have been shocked to find that money was used to pay for unique key life insurance policies, lobbying ,loans, special projects and perks  for funeral home directors and Leaders at the Illinois Funeral Directors Association (IFDA).

The Illinois Funeral Directors Association  stated that the funds were  safe and guaranteed in U.S. Treasury securities, corporate bonds and other fixed income securites Instead went into fraudelant insurance policies with a $25,000 bribe for free life insurance paid for by the IFDA.

Funeral directors in the state did not follow up with due diligence according  to deathcarelaw.com

“In a nutshell, Illinois funeral directors did not perform due diligence with regard to the management of their master trust. Instead, funeral directors placed their trust in their elected leadership, who then placed their trust in an investment advisor.”
Those 300+ funeral directors who were named  in Special  Key Guy life Insurance policies have not and will not die

IL Senator Burris and the IFDA have refused to answer FUNERAL TRUST FUND ANSWERS since a January 16th 2009 article in World Net Daily.

fast enough so as to pay off  the funerals of  Public investors who pre-paid.

The man who took  President Barack Obama’s Senate seat,  Illinois’  Senator an  Ex-Gov. Blagojevich’s appointee, Roland Burris, granted the IFDA its trust license in 1980 as State Comptroller.

Then as ILLINOIS Comptroller he renewed that license 20X. He then lobbied for the IFDA in 2007.  Senator Roland Burris(D-IL)  after multiple requests has not said anything  about he was paid for lobbying or if the funds came from the scandalous IFDA PRENEED TRUST.
