A. If he was a veteran then the military will help. You could have a funeral at your house for free. Low income families should consider cremation. Its been 7 years but my dads cremation cost about $400. Again the military will supply an urn.

Do you think attending unknown funerals is good research for writing a funeral scene?
Q. I am writing a funeral scene for my soon to be finished book. I am looking for funny incidents that happen at funerals. It was suggested that I attend funerals of people I don't know to do my research. Do you think this is a good idea? Do you know of anything funny that happen at a funeral you attended or read about in a book? There is a funny funeral scene in Tina McElroy's "Ugly Ways", Have you read it?

A. I think it's excellent research and not disrespectful, if you're not writing anything disrespectful about the actual people who died, by name. It's the only way. Plus, the experience will help you convey the feelings and bring more depth to the scene that you probably would otherwise not be able to convey perfectly.

Do you have a funeral casserole in your freezer?
Q. How often do you change it? Assuming there are no funerals in that time, to take it to. What is your best funeral casserole receipe? This is the South people, and Yes people die, and when that happens, you take the casserole out of the freezer and take it to the wake. And something new is a video, of the dead persons life, with pictures and favorite music, that we show at the wake. People are going to die regardless or not, I put a casserole in my freezer.

How do funeral homes market their services?
Q. I'm a writer and I'd like to target funeral homes for my writing services, but I'm unclear as to their marketing efforts. I know that a funeral home is often associated with a particular cemetery, and receives referrals from people who've purchased plots in that cemetery. I also know that funeral homes do a great deal of Yellow Pages advertising, and likely have Web sites. Are there any other types of marketing communications they do? Do they send out flyers or direct mail? Thanks very much.

A. A coroner and a funeral director are two completely different jobs. A coroner is a paid position, either elected or appointed, depending on the state. A coroner responds to death calls and determines the cause of death or orders an autopsy if necessary. A funeral director works at a funeral home, makes funeral arrangements and embalms bodies. A mortician and a funeral director are the same thing.

Q. My father-in-law passed away and his funeral cost was $8,000+ From what I understand, the funeral costs come from the estate, but in his case, he doesn't have enough money to cover it. Is this common? How would funeral homes stay in business? What is the advantage to pre-planning/paying if no one except the estate is responsible for the bill?

A. I was under the impression that if nobody can pay for a funeral, then the funeral director hands the body over to the state and the government takes care of it.

A. Cleaning, filing, carrying flowers and things like that, inventory (they do have some stock), answering phones, general office tasks. Maybe greeting people who come to view their loved one.

A. Hi- My Sympathies regarding your Grandpa's death. It is never easy to lose a loved one. Had your grandpa been ill for a while? Was this an expected death? Working in the Medical Field, I have seen MANY situations- If he had been expected to pass on, I can see where maybe the Funeral is held so soon. it is soon- it definetly is soon! For this, I am sorry. Sometimes relatives who live out of State that have been taking care of or at the bedside of the loved one have expected this set of circumstances, this will be done this way. Every individual case is different... I would advice that you share your feelings with somebody close to you. I know this may sound strange to you right now, but, writing a poem, a tribute, or some memories down is… [cont.]
