The Reason–Don't know the FACTSYou have never been educated as to where future prices are going.Why are funeral prices increasing fast than normal inflation.

According to a recent NY Department of Consumer Affairs study:“There is a continuing movement toward the consolidation of thefuneral industry with large corporations owning many homes.”

“Consolidation is leading to higher funeral prices. An SCI funeralcosts about 25% more than a funeral at an independent funeralhome.”

“Funeral homes that are part of large chains often hide their ownership and claim to be independently owned.”

The Need – Identify Where You Are

95% of Americans fit into one of three categories:Oops, Ouch or Uh-oh.

Oops - wrong type of insurance – Term or universal life Expires or increase in premium to the point that it is too expensive. Because only 7% of the people who buy term life insurance actually die during the term, the other 93% have wasted their money.

Ouch - Paying way too much

Uh-oh – This is the largest category. Includes people with no insurance. Not enough because inflation has devalued your coverage.
