Now Even Unions are telling you to Save on Funeral Cost. In This union publication it seems that they have taken a page out of Rest In Peace  Insiders Tips to the Low Cost Less Funeral.

The theme in this Union Article of- Shopping around, Choosing  Cremation, and buying Your casket  online is the   mantra of Your Funeral Guy Blogs and Book.

Snippet:

1. Do your homework and compare costs. This is much easier to do if the passing of the deceased was expected, but you could call ahead and ask for a price list from funeral homes.

2. Explore cremation as an option. The cost of embalming can be eliminated if completed soon after death, and you have the right to buy an inexpensive container as opposed to a pricey casket.

3. Purchase the casket on your own, outside the funeral home. These days, caskets are available through the Internet, funeral supply stores, and even Walmart.com. All carry caskets at reduced prices, and funeral directors are required by law to accept them and not charge extra fees to do so.

R. Brian Burkhardt, funeral director and “Your Funeral Guy” blogger, is quoted by the AP as stating of the benefits the move will have for consumers,

“You can get a quality casket for $1,000 rather than pay $2,000, $3,000 or $5,000 in a funeral home. That’s where it helps the consumer.”

Wal-Mart ads caskets and urns to online product offerings

2009-10-29 04:32:36 (GMT) (WiredPRNews.com – Business, News)
Walmart has begun selling caskets and urns online.

The retail giant has begun selling caskets and urns online.

Bentonville, Arkansas (WiredPRNews.com) – Wal-Mart is now offering caskets and urns for sale online. As reported by the Associated Press (AP), the move may provide increased competition for funeral homes, which typically sell their caskets for significantly higher than Wal-Mart’s current price offerings.

R. Brian Burkhardt, funeral director and “Your Funeral Guy” blogger, is quoted by the AP as stating of the benefits the move will have for consumers,

“You can get a quality casket for $1,000 rather than pay $2,000, $3,000 or $5,000 in a funeral home. That’s where it helps the consumer.”

Some, however, believe Wal-Mart’s online sales will not be a threat to funeral home businesses. Pat Lynch, president-elect of the National Funeral Home Directors Association, is further quoted by the AP as stating, “There’s no question in my mind as a funeral director for nearly 40 years that the most critical element is the human contact.”

As noted in the report, the retail giant’s competitor Costco previously began offering the items for sale online as well.
