Funeral services are one of the largest purchases consumers will make, right up there with a car and a house.
We understand that the task of caring for the details following the death of a loved one can be overwhelming and confusing. So, we have prepared this basic information to help you through that process. Please realize that some of the items on this list will not pertain to your specific situation and they may be disregarded.
Why this information is avaliable.
We are a family from the Midwest. Father was sick only 3 weeks prior to death. The funeral home wanted over $10,000 for an open casket, services and burial. That was so much money at the time.
In addition to cremation, we did many things ourselves and with the help of family and friends that we saved thousands of dollars. What a great feeling not to have to spend the next 5 years paying for his funeral.
This site was created to help you do the same. By personalizing our memorial service, we were better able to grieve and process the feelings of our loss.
