This great short animated video from NBC News gives us an insight into how the funeral industry, funeral costs and how funeral homes make money from us as funeral consumers. It covers the FTC’s ‘funeral rule’ and how often it is violated by funeral homes, rules on embalming and purchasing funeral merchandise and the benefits of preplanning a funeral. Definitely worth a watch!
