This is my first post hereĀ 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: http://www.lowercostfuneral.com
My first day of funeral service was September 11, 2001. I believed that by being a Funeral Director, I could help,
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.
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
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.
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.
Here are three steps to a lower cost funeral.
1 Read The Funeral Rule.
2. Make the Funeral director follow the rule
3.Pay at the End.
4. Get Financial and emotional support
If you do this you will have a lower cost funeral.
