FUNERALS: A CONSUMER GUIDE

The idea of making funeral arrangements in advance is most likely something you don’t want to think about. But with the costs of a traditional funeral, including a casket and vault, running more than $6,000, you may want to consider pre-need planning. It allows you not only to designate your funeral preferences but also to compare the prices offered by several funeral providers. Find out more with Funerals: A Consumer Guide from the Federal Trade Commission. This informative publication costs $1.00. For your copy, send your name, address, and a check or money order for $1.00 to the Federal Citizen Information Center, Dept. 321R, Pueblo, CO 81009. Or call toll-free 1 (888) 8 PUEBLO, that’s 1 (888) 878-3256, and ask for Item 321R. Have your credit card handy. And visit www.pueblo.gsa.gov to read or print this and hundreds of other FCIC publications for free.
