<description>&lt;p&gt;Yes, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The President of the United States of America George W.Bush cried  at the White House today.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt; He cried over the high cost funeral that had already occurred. Michael A. Monsoor, who was part of a sniper team on a roof in Ramadi, Iraq when he died on Sept. 29, 2006. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Michael Monsoor,&lt;/strong&gt; a Navy, seal did not hesitate when he saw the  live grenade.&lt;br /&gt; He fell on the grenade to shield his buddies from the blast.&lt;br /&gt; Monsoor was given the  &amp;quot;Medal Of Honor&amp;quot;  today, posthumously.&lt;br /&gt; This Navy seal gave his life for his friends.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;He gave his life for you and me.&lt;br /&gt; The ultimate sacrifice for his country.&lt;br /&gt; To paraphrase Mark Twain, he lived his life in such away  to make the funeral director sad.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The main point of funerals and funeral cost is to do everything you can to live your life well.&lt;br /&gt; Would, you have hesitated about falling on the Grenade?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I once turned to a corrupt funeral director boss and said &amp;quot;John, (not real name,) our fathers did not storm the beaches of Normandy, for you to behave that way.&lt;br /&gt; Needless to say i was soon transferred to another location.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; The ultimate cost of a funeral is the death of the person involved.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Rest in Peace&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;you can find more stories like this here:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yourfuneralguy.word%20press.com&quot; title=&quot;http://www.yourfuneralguy.wordpress.com&quot;&gt;http://yourfuneralguy.wordpress.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;div class=&quot;entry&quot;&gt; 			      &lt;div class=&quot;snap_preview&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;plogBodyText&quot;&gt;Hi, my name is R.Brian Burkhardt and I am known on the internet as Your Funeral Guy. I was severely injured on a job and had to take some time off work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;During that time, I was able to help others lower their funeral cost. After some reflection. I wrote a book. I am here to reach out to others who need help working through the painful problem of funerals. I can do that with you either through the book, on the web or in person.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Over the years and because of what I have seen, it is apparent that many have been hurt in the funeral process.This is can be avoided. I may look like a traditional guy, but I am always looking with enthusiasm to the future. I see a&lt;strong&gt; better quality&lt;/strong&gt; in “funerals” ahead along with &lt;strong&gt;lower cost&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;less stress.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your Funeral Guy,&lt;br /&gt; R Brian Burkhardt&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;plogBodyText&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Author of&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Rest in Peace Insider’s Tips To the Low Cost Less Stress Funeral.

<item><title>Seven Steps to a Lower Cost Funeral/shop...</title>
<link>http://lowercostfuneral.blogr.com/stories/1098759/</link>
<description>&lt;p&gt;      The first seven steps to a lower cost funeral:shop around.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; determine whether you are going to have the funeral at at a  church, another facility or a Funeral Home.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Second&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;,If you decide to have a funeral at a Funeral home,  it is preferred to go to several funeral homes and obtain prices. The prices are in a document that funeral homes have called a general price list(GPL) Obtain a casket price list at the same time. If they do not show you a casket price list do do not use that funeral home.You will not get a lower cost funeral at that funeral home.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Third&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;  Go home compare the prices. Compare apples for apples. Decide on a lower cost funeral home.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fourth&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Go back to the funeral home(s) Meet with the Funeral Directors. Do they look you in the eye.? Is there one that you feel you will be able to negotiate a lower cost funeral with? Decide on a lower cost funeral director.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fifth,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; be sure to meet the owner or manager of each funeral home. Do you think this is someone who would  help you lower the cost of your funeral?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sixth,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Make the important decision, casket or cremation? Check with your funeral director of choice. Determine whether the firm does cremations and embalming on site. It is always better to find a firm that has on site facilities.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seventh&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, reference &amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ww.lowercostfuneral.com&quot; title=&quot;Low Cost Funeral&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rest in Peace Insiders Tips to the The Low Cost Less Stressed Funera&lt;/em&gt;l&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot; a great how to book. -------------------R.Brian Burkhardt-yourfuneralguy&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lowercostfuneral.com&quot; title=&quot;http://www.lowercostfuneral.com&quot;&gt;http://www.lowercostfuneral.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
