Selecting The Casket And
Arranging The Funeral

To help us cope with the death of a loved one, our bodies most often go into a certain degree of shock. This is how we are made, and it allows us to deal with the pain of our grief.

Although this mental state can be helpful to our emotional well being, this is not the preferred time to be making financial, funeral or burial decisions. Misguided decisions at this time can contribute to the "high cost of dying." That is why everyone should make casket and funeral arrangements in advance, when reason and logic prevail, emotional overspending is controlled, and the wishes of the deceased are respected.
