BURIAL SERVICES                                   article by:  James Thomas Fridas
part 1


There are funerals and then there are burial services.  The idea is to save money because a funeral can cost a small fortune these days.  I remember when I had my mothers funeral in 2001 it cost under $6,000. of course I had the advantage of her being buried with my father at the Veteran Cemetery in San Bruno, unlike many people today who have to practically take out a loan to have a funeral that can run up into the 10 and twenty thousand dollar range, no kidding!   So in order to save a dollar or two there is a new service called a burial service, it works like a smorgas board affair in some way for example you can have the casket delivered straight to the cemetery instead of at the funeral home so you save many dinar's and there are other benefits as well if you think you do not need to think about this sort of thing think again, it could happen today and you will be in real hot water.
So look into the idea of a burial service it could save a dinar or two and you will be thankful you checked it out.  I will add a few posts to this and make a few parts with additional information so check back later for part 2 and maybe 3 we will see.
