Breaking News-March 8th 2009 Newsweek Revealed the “Two”leading lower cost Funeral Homes in the USA. The funeral homes mentioned are Simple Funerals near Detroit, Michigan and Barton Family Funeral Service in Seattle Washington.
It appears that the article’s author ( Matthew Phillips)spent some time with the owner of Simple Funerals-Tom Macksoud. He recounts the case of Randy Bathurst who died in January. Phillips goes on to explains how Macksoud helped Bathurst’s Widow lower the cost of her husband’s funeral.
In the article Phillips also quotes the co-founder of Barton Family Funeral Service Craig Barton as saying
“People have come to believe that spending a lot of money is the only way to do it because that’s what the funeral industry has told them.”
Barton has a cremation website, Seattle Cremations, where one can complete cremation paperwork in advance and
purchase a cremation for $695. This is very close to the lowest cost cremation in the USA.
I am pleased that these two funeral homes have fleshed out the principles in my book Rest in Peace Insiders Tips to the Low Cost Less Stress Funeral which is reasonably priced to help you with Your Funeral Cost.
Oh yes, the author of this blog is quoted in the Newsweek article as well.
