My response:

Before I read your article called 13 things the funeral director won't tell you, I had no idea the sorts of scams you could get from a funeral director. The crematorium facts really helped after the death of my grandfather. My nana never would've thought about having to come back for a more expensive urn, but when I told her she made sure to ask! Another thing I found amusing was the fact that they're called funeral directors to sound more official, when in reality they're just morticians. I never would have expected an article like this from any magazine, but I thought it was very interesting.

13 things the funeral director won't tell you came in handy a lot for my family. With a recent death in the family, we learned to call every near funeral home for the best price. We debated between a casket and an urn, and by using this article we decided going with cremation because we didn't want the funeral home to charge us for embalming the body. It really surprised me that many funeral homes don't have freezers! I especially thought this was an important fact,
