Part 2 of 3 - My Personal Experience and Comments Shared Online
More articles about Funeral costs, needs to be shared online and offline to help members of the public - society in general make better informed decisions about "planning funeral arrangements", to support other fav written articles on subject matter such as birth, dating, wedding etc death needs to be part of a popular write up and debate online and offline - dont you think ?
l heard through the media press in Jan 2019 -UK Govt is looking at overhaul of UK's funeral industry - they need to be regulated , about time too - why do funerals cost anything between a few thousand pounds to as much as five to almost seven thousands of pounds to bury a dead person , cremation is not cheap either it cost a few thousand pounds ? why ? coz a lot of funeral companies are mostly all privately owed and they can charge what ever price they like as the funeral industry is not regulated by the govt.
Most people dont have this amount of money just sitting in their bank account in today's reality of the world we live in today at ll.
They would either need to find the money to bury someone they know, request a collect among friends and family, get a bank loan, borrow from a loan shark company, apply to your local council
for a death loan ,get a loan from a sell personal assets, deep into their savings etc in order to cover their funeral cost - the funeral rule for the dead is this "no money to cover funeral service = no deal " to prolong the agony for customers in great distress - no one ever said this is a cheap or free service ever either?.
Death is an expensive business , multi billion funeral industry, , somewhere in the UK and across the world in general , several millions of people die every second daily 24 x7 = 365 days a year in the rate a baby is born every second daily 24 x7 = 365 days a year?
The above experience has made me "pay for my own funeral service cost in advance of the prospect of my own death" l would not like to n my family to be faced with a high price tag , cost of funding my own funeral service, just say , they did not have the thousands of pounds required precisely at the time of my death to conduct my funeral service as l would like to be cremated anyway. it is estimated by 2025 the cost of burying a dead person will hit between six and a half to almost seven thousand pounds - the question again is but why ? this is where our govt need to step in down and put an end to over pricing in the funeral industry once and for all - and make pricing more transparent for all to see.
Information worth sharing don't you think ?
Question for readers of my post ?
Do you know the cost of your funeral ? can you afford it ?/or any of your family members - others afford the cost on your behalf ..if you cant ?
Please don't shot the messenger here.
l am just thinking aloud having being through an ordeal process myself on this fact finding exercise my self …… now worth thinking about and planning ahead for " we are all going o die one day soon " real fact of life some event here is my key point here to x
