Why Are Funerals So Expensive? w/Funeral Director Jeff Jorgenson
Did you know Costco sells caskets?! Funeral director Jeff Jorgenson answers all of Sandrine and Anita’s burning questions about the modern funeral industry and how costs can add up. He explains why embalming doesn’t have to be mandatory and why caskets are often placed in burial vaults (and yes, that’s a separate cost). Anita also goes through her dad’s pre-planned funeral contract and learns that “casket spray” isn’t referring to cleaning the coffin. They also get into grave vs. funeral costs, ethical planning based on affordability, and green burials.
