7. This is all great information. My mother just passed a few days ago.

Monday is the funeral. Recently convinced my father to take out two Funeral Insurance Policies should either of them have to go on Medical Assistance since they were both ill at the same time. This would protect them from having the money taken by the County.
My father switched funeral homes on us and somehow the bill got bigger. Arrrrgh. In fact, the funeral director insulted my husband and I so much we are not attending the viewing of my own mother.
Everyone smells money when someone is possibly going to pass. Everyone. If you can keep this in mind through the whole process and somehow manage to do your research, you can find better deals and kinder people.
