Funeral Consumers Alliance official offers advice on planning funerals

URBANA – Josh Slocum admits that even his family is guilty of picking a funeral home just because it served the family in the past.

"This not good shopping," he said. "Do you want to pay $5,000 more for a new Honda Accord just because that's the dealer Dad used?"
