There is an organization which aims at protecting the consumers so that they can choose a dignified funeral. This organization is the Funeral Consumers Alliance, or FCA in short.
In fact, this organization is a non-profit organization. One of its job is to monitor funeral industry so as to make sure that vendors in the industry are providing good services.
Yet the most important thing the will do for the consumers is to print leaflets to raise the public awareness on various choice of funeral services. It will certainly help to educate the consumers. As a matter of fact, there is no other organization which will help to educate the consumers about the funeral industry.
The affiliates of FCA are mainly non-profit funeral planning groups. The affiliates have been liaising with some funeral homes so that some discount price can be offered.
In the website of FCA, there are plenty of tips and resources on funeral planning. Some of these resources are totally free. There are also some books and videos which can be sold to people so that they can learn more about funeral planning.
There is also a forum in the site for people to discuss various issues on funeral and funeral planning. Another valuable section in the website is the legal section. The legal right for various people involved in a funeral will be discussed.
It is really a good resources for people who have thought of plan for the funeral ahead. To become a member of FCA, a little bit of donation will be required. However, it is just a small amount which is equal to the cost of a good meal!
Bereavement Verses can be something very personal. It helps us to express our emotions. The true feeling will be expressed using a verse.
In fact, it will be a difficult task for one to write a bereavement verse, considering the feeling of one when writing it. In most cases, verses will not be written on oneself. Others will help to write it. Yet it should bear the notion that the verse is going to express the emotions of the people who are involved in the funeral.
It is quite difficult for us to find the right word when writing the verses. And it will change according to the relationship between us and the deceased.
I have done a brief search on the web and find some samples of bereavement verses. Of course no one would like to write it but it will be useful when you have to do it in some cases.
