<description>&lt;p&gt;The Funeral cost industry needs to be reformed. this according to the U.S. publication Newsweek. The article is devoted to funeral cost the Funeral Consumers Alliance and the funeral industry&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On July 3rd 2008, Newsweek did an article creating a &lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;funeral, funeral cost and FCA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;- Funeral Consumer Alliance stir. The picture of the biodegradable casket gives you a look at future funeral cost. Joshua Slocum of the Funeral Consumers Alliance also did a great Job handling comments after the article appeared. Slocum is a true Funeral Futurist.

And once a funeral director has got a body in the door, it’s over.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newsweek.com/id/144482&quot; title=&quot;http://www.newsweek.com/id/144482&quot;&gt;http://www.newsweek.com/id/144482&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As stated in the Book Rest in Peace Insiders Tips to the Low Cost Less Stress Funeral Once the Funeral Director puts your loved one on the mortuary cot, &lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The funeral cost clock starts running. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Two books can help here with the average cost of a funeral.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot;&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td width=&quot;115&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Grave-Matters-Journey-Through-Industry/dp/0743277686/ref=pd_bbs_3?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1215040774&amp;amp;sr=1-3&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51r29E1i16L._SL160_AA115_.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;A Journey Through the Modern Funeral Industry to a Natural Way of Burial&quot; width=&quot;115&quot; height=&quot;115&quot; /&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td width=&quot;8&quot;&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;snap_preview&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Grave-Matters-Journey-Through-Industry/dp/0743277686/ref=pd_bbs_3?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1215040774&amp;amp;sr=1-3&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;srTitle&quot;&gt;Grave Matters: A Journey Through the Modern Funeral Industry to a Natural Way of Burial&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by Mark Harris&lt;/div&gt; &lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot;&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td width=&quot;115&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Rest-Peace-Insiders-Stress-Funeral/dp/1600373984/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1215040877&amp;amp;sr=1-1&quot;&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td width=&quot;8&quot;&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;    &lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width=&quot;115&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Rest-Peace-Insiders-Stress-Funeral/dp/1600373984/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1215040877&amp;amp;sr=1-1&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41%2BceSzWe1L._SL160_PIsitb-dp-arrow,TopRight,21,-23_SH30_OU01_AA115_.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Insider&apos;s Tips to the Low Cost Less Stress Funeral&quot; width=&quot;115&quot; height=&quot;115&quot; /&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td width=&quot;8&quot;&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Rest-Peace-Insiders-Stress-Funeral/dp/1600373984/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1215040877&amp;amp;sr=1-1&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;srTitle&quot;&gt;Rest in Peace: Insider’s Tips to the Low Cost Less Stress Funeral&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by R Brian Burkhardt and Matt Bacak&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your Funeral Guy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, R Brian Burkhardt, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;Funeral Director&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, Author, Blogger, State of Illinois&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Be sure to let me know how you achieved low funeral cost.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<item><title>How I Learned to Lower The Cost of any F...</title>
<link>http://lowercostfuneral.blogr.com/stories/1099103/</link>
<description>&lt;p&gt; This is my first post here  about your funeral guy and how I came to lower the costs of Funerals. I am here because over the past 6 months i have been  personally encouraged with posts. Indeed there has been several posts about my passion Lowering the Costs of Funerals. There is more information on this here:  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lowercostfuneral.com&quot; title=&quot;lowercostfuneral.com&quot;&gt;http://www.lowercostfuneral.com &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     My first day of funeral service was September 11, 2001. I believed that by  being a Funeral Director, I could help, &lt;br /&gt;encourage, bring broad prosperity and a better future to families. The events of September 11th 2001 gave my an ironclad compassion for families who experience a loss through death.  No one will take this away from me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Career moves brought me to the Washington D.C. Area to funeral direct there. This was the time of the start of the Iraq War. Doing  funeral services at Arlington National Cemetery and  the Quantico  Marine Base.was an honor. It gave me the skills to do excellent ceremonies.  THIS  IS WHERE THE REAL LEARNING BEGAN: GOVERNMENT LEADERS WOULD COME IN AND DO FUNERALS. Most of the time they would walk out of the funeral home paying $2000 to $4000 less for &lt;br /&gt;a $10.000 Funeral. No they did not get special deals.. They knew and applied the Funeral Rule, funeral law. They knew how to negotiate with Funeral Directors. They walked away with saved money and broad prosperity.&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;       Government Leaders were not the real masters of the lower cost funeral.  Immigrants (legal and illegal) were the grand masters. Maybe it is because immigrants congregate in the D.C. Area. These friends researched the lower cost funeral to save money. Often they knew more than the Government Leaders. They always paid at the end, and always passed the hat in their community coming up with substantial funds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are three steps to a lower cost funeral.&lt;br /&gt;1 Read The Funeral Rule.&lt;br /&gt;2. Make the Funeral director follow the rule&lt;br /&gt;3.Pay at the End.&lt;br /&gt;4. Get Financial and emotional support &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you do this you will have a lower cost funeral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Find out more in  The BOOK: Rest in Peace Insiders Tips to the LOW COST LESS STRESS FUNERAL. soon to be published by Morgan James.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Funeral Guy&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;R.Brian Burkhardt&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowercostfuneral.blogr.com/stories/1099103/http:www.lowercostfuneral.com&quot; title=&quot;lower cost funeral&quot;&gt;rbrianburkhardt.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
