Guest Josh Slocum is Executive Director of the Funeral Consumers Alliance. This is a not-for-profit organisation in the United States dedicated to protecting consumers rights to a fair, dignified and affordable funeral.
When it comes to funerals - both Ireland and the US share many of the same issues. Funeral poverty is a growing problem in Ireland as the cost of a funeral can come in much higher than a family anticipated. With the result that families can end up paying off a funeral debt for years to come.
Josh shares his insights into how the American funeral industry works and great advice on saving costs.
