Lots of news articles on how the funeral industry is suffering in this economy - more people are opting for cremation and lowest-cost coffins and funerals. But none so fun to read as WAPO Dana Milbank's "Funeral Business Feeling Six Feet Under."
A few excerpts:
In case you've been dying for more bad news about the economy, here's a grave new indicator: Even the death industry is in a hole.
It was quite an undertaking, and it didn't work; apparently, funding funerals wasn't regarded as a spur to economic growth, because much of the benefit gets deep-sixed.
And it's not just the corpses that have to make do with less.

Everyday I see articles about the funeral industry suffering the same economic woes as many industries. However, there is a great solution out there for memorializing our loved ones. Craft artisans are true manufacturers in the old-fashioned sense. They produce a product with attention to quality and they care about what they produce. Shine On Brightly at www.shineonbrightly.com is an innovative website that offers honorable ways to memorialize loved ones with beauty. Everything on the website is handmade by artists with compassion. It helps a family to save money by offering beautiful, heartfelt objects to honor lives. As opposed to the $8,000 funeral/casket package. It's a great option for dignified, honoring of loved ones without wild expenses.
