"I'm upset at this funeral home's prices because I want their top-of-the-line funeral but I don't want to pay their prices. They took advantage of me." No, they didn't.

Thread: American grieving consumers, I want to offer some home truths. It's clear no one else has, and this is probably the first time you'll hear anyone say this. Please hear it in the spirit of helpfulness, though you'll find it bracing.

Some funeral homes are pricey. Maybe because their facilities are very costly and fancy, maybe for not so understandable reasons. But they're allowed to charge what they want. This is a market economy.

@JessicaKoth Thank you very much. It was a bear to find, and I'm skilled at legislative research!

Good on NFDA for getting this through.

@JessicaKoth Hi Jessica--do you know the number and name of the *larger* bill that the BRAVE act for vets is a part of? I'd like to read it to update our advice on vets' burial benefits. Cheers and thanks.
