Why are funeral cost affecting america today??

Question

i need to write an essay about it for sociology...

Answer 1

funeral cost like other costs is increasing.  funeral is sheer profit as pple r grieving and dont hv presence of mind to argue or disagree.  so funeral parlors simply charge exorbitant rates esp for the rich one.  but they dont care - their motive is to make as much $$ as possble when pple r disadvantaged.  then, families feel they must give their best for the send off.  so they may chose expensive coffins etc.  all this is a sheer waste of $$ as it will last for a day or two then buried / burned and gone!

this is where the muslims got it right -no coffin, no delays.  bodies are laid into the ground, then a wooden cover to protect it from the shoveled earth, is placed over it .  bare minimum cost.  no elaborate ceremonies - it may sound odd but it doesnt delay the soul's journey and hasten the burial so as to minimize hardship and mourning as life must go on for the living

Answer 2
