Coping with the death of a loved one is probably the most difficult event that any of us will face in our lives. What makes this event even more difficult is that it will fall upon those who are most affected by the loss, to organise the funeral.
For most consumers, organising a funeral is often done for the first time or we have only limited experience in doing so. We don’t know what to expect, are emotionally vulnerable and feel under pressure to make the arrangements quickly.
That’s when things can go wrong

We start to make expensive funeral decisions when we are likely to be grieving, upset and emotional.
Because of these exceptionally difficult circumstances, we are not able to exercise some of the most basic financial decisions that customers typically display in more normal circumstances.
