Why a Pre-Arranged Funeral?
NINTH—To the head of the family: You take every
measure to conserve your estate, yet in connection with
your own funeral you may leave the door wide open for
expenditures that are needed to tide the loved ones over
the period of readjustment. Why not limit that expense
by making arrangements now?
