When my father had passed and his widow had picked the urn I proceeded to haggle with the guy at the funeral home for a better price. My cousins were horrified when they heard the story and my step mother had said shh a couple of times while I was beating the guy down on price, but it's just business. If anyone pays full price for my cremation I will haunt them. Around here caskets are not an issue because they are made locally by family and friends. They are very low cost to the family and some of the nicest caskets you will ever see.
