The Shocking Cost of Funerals: How to Honor Your Loved One Without Breaking the Bank
It’s hard enough to cope with the loss of a friend or family member, much less the sticker shock that comes with laying them to rest. This week, Julien and Kiersten Saunders (@richandregular) give a line-by-line review of common funeral costs and several tips to help curb some of the expenses.
