Planning a funeral can seem overwhelming, but following the 3 simple tips below will ensure you are prepared and don't overpay for funeral services.

The Funeral Rule was established by the Federal Trade Commission to protect consumers at this particularly vulnerable time.  Be sure to review these 8 points to protect yourself and your loved ones when speaking with a funeral home or other funeral service provider.

2. More Money Doesn't = More Love! 

Establish your funeral budget and only purchase what you want and need.
