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.

What is the protocol for a Buddhist funeral?
Q. My dad's wife's brother passed away unexpectedly and I want to send flowers or something but am not sure what the Buddhist tradition is for paying respects. If I can do something to help the family with arrangements that don;t have to do with funeral arrangements, like buying supplies they may need to take to the funeral home or send the type of flowers normally at a Buddhist funeral, or maybe even donate money to the temple on the decease's behalf. But I don't want to do anything to offend anyone either. Any suggestions?

How do I start my own funeral home, do I need special licenses?
Q. It seems like a really cool thing to do. You get to see all the people crying, embalm or cremate dead people and you throw the afterparty when everybody comes to see the casket or the urn and you serve drinks.

What honors would a retired police Lieutenant receive at his funeral?
Q. What kind of honor does a police officer of higher rank receive at his funeral? Or in other words, what would traditionally happen? Also, if there was a stint as a military police officer, would that have any change on a funeral? Sorry I've never been to one, so I was just curious. Well does a stint as a military police officer count as "being in the military"? He's in law enforcement, a detective for 25 years.

We recently did one for a member who worked at a very large city department. The officer was older, died of an illness and had been retired from that agency for more than 20 years. Out of respect to his service, we posted an honor guard and led the hearse to the church and then to the cemetery with our motor. It was too far for the agency to travel.

A. It depends. A simple funeral package,that includes the coffin and embalming service, can cost you around 5,000.00 to 20,000.00 pesos. And if you want the grandest funeral package from embalming, coffin, venue, procession up to to the cemetery would cost you normally from 50,000.00 to as much as 1,000,000.00 plus,plus pesos; that is if you chose a coffin that's made of silver. If you're in a tight budget, then you might as well rent a coffin.

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.

How much does a funeral home ceremony and burial cost?
Q. Ok, I have no idea how much this would run, so I'd like to know how much it actually costs to do the viewing of the body in a funeral home (nothing lavish, just something simple and nice) and then the next day the burial in a cemetery with a simple but nice tombstone.

A. there is no set price. Each funeral home has different ways that they conduct services and have different prices that go with those services. I work in a funeral home that's in some what of a small town, so a service like that would cost around $5000, depending mainly on the type of casket that would be used. but in a much larger town that price could double or even triple. So shop around a little and get some quotes. But a note of caution when calling funeral homes: NEVER mention another funeral homes prices, or that you even called them for that matter, it's only gonna make things harder

Marine needs plane tickets for funeral, where is the best place on the net to get tickets?
Q. My cousin is in the Marines and is stationed in California, our grandfather died today and he needs to fly from Ontario California to Houston Texas for a Friday or Saturday funeral, he's newly married and a new father so funds are a little slim. Can anyone tell me the best place on the net to find airline tickets that wont completely break the bank for him. They really don't pay those guys much.

A. His best bet, other than flying space-available as already noted, is to call around to the various airlines and inquire about bereavement fares. Many airlines offer discounts on last-minute tickets for funerals and the like -- those are typically better deals than what can be found online, but if an airline offers them, it's usually over the phone rather than online.
