Dear Friends,

Although the average funeral and burial cost much less today than many people expect...surely a funeral will cost much more in the future! Who knows if inflation will rise more rapidly in the future than in the past? When one must live on a fixed income, any additional cost can be significant.

Arranging a funeral in advance can be a worthwhile experience in light of the impact your own death will have on those you love most. For this reason we have compiled, with the help of many people like you, the five most frequently asked questions voiced by people considering their own funerals.
