I’ve been a subscriber for a few months but I just wanted to thank you for the content you put out. My father passed away on a Friday after being in a bad car accident. The content I’ve seen of yours has been very informative and helpful.
I am sorry for that heart ache! I am so thankful that you have found some help along the way with my videos though!
Your videos are extremely helpful, this is knowledge everyone needs to know. We will all, no exceptions, have to work with a funeral director at some point. Thanks Kari!
Yes death is inevitable!
Thank you so much for the videos, you have been so helpful. Many thank you's for your help. God Bless you
Love your channel Ms. Northey. I never noticed how green your eyes are. Than you for all your useful and helpful info.
Yeah in some of the videos the light really shows them!
awesome very educational thank you for letting the people know
Thanks Bryan!
The problem is that one is very(usually)distraught when making arrangements. One's nerves are not ready to shop around as if you were buying a car. That's why, in my opinion, pre arrangements are a good idea, or just leaving it up to a funeral home that has been used before and has a good reputation.
Yes they are. SO MANY people shop around like buying a car which is such a big difference in the business from what it used to be. We have the used car salesmen of the business now too which hurts us.
Each funeral that I was involved in I always ask for a price list. It was very helpful. Thank you for the info.
You are welcome!
Hi Kari😄 folks when at an arrangement conference don't be afraid to ASK QUESTIONS about items or costs you don't understand....take as much time as you need with the director until you are comfortable with your arrangements! I have signed a few funeral contracts myself and remember you are legally responsible for payment of the items on that list......also if possible, know what assets are available for you for funeral expenditures and final disposition
costs and try to stay within your
budget....this will help in giving your loved one the services they deserve and will ease your mind as well......thanks gang and Pre Plan when you can😄
Thank you Gary!!
WOW. did you make this video for me. 🐱 My mother died in TO and was a direct crema tion. My sister heard of this and asked if we could see her but with her face made up.The FD told us Ok but she would be just as they received her from hospital. It was $80.00 about 10 years ago. We were in the hospital as she took her last breath. She looked dreadful. I didn't want to view her again but my sister almost forced me to view her looking at peace as beautiful as I remember her and viewing her that way made me feel at peace and that she was joining my father. While she was just hours from passing she talked to my dead father telling him she wasn't ready to go yet. She was telling my sister what needed to be done before selling her home. I felt my father's presents in the room calling my mother. After she passed when I was talking to my sister she said she heard and felt the same things. WOW what an experience.
Thank you for sharing this with us!
Be cognizant, as well, that cremation charges may vary if the funeral home maintains its own crematory vs. subcontracting a separate crematory to do the work. Not all funeral homes have their own crematory on premises! Also, many funeral homes do not have refrigeration, and this may be reflected in the final tally of costs, as well. ID viewings (a short period for the family to pay their last respects and say goodbye), for instance, in my state (Pennsylvania), may take place days after the death if the funeral home has refrigeration, whereas embalming may be required after 24 hours for those funeral homes without refrigeration.
Yes very true!!
I live on the state border between MI and WI. The local crematory is a mile or so over the border in WI. A friend said there was $100 fee for having to take her loved one's body into WI for cremation. Is this just because there are charges for filing paperwork with each state, such as transit permits?
There could be a special permit but I have not heard of one before.
I have a question. My friend died in a plane crash and at his wake his mom told my mom she made them open the casket so she could see him even though they advised her not to. Ofcourse no one asked what she saw and It was a closed casket obviously but i was wondering if he would have been embalmed even though he wasn't going to be seen
There are many variables of what he may have looked like and if there was much of him left.
@@KaritheMortician i realize that but my question is would they have still have embalmed what was left even if it was just limbs or would they have considered it futile
Sunday morning and I am watching video of a funeral director!!! yikes but very useful
Never a bad day to educate yourself :)
Ty for the information
You are welcome
When my mom died, we never received a price list. We were quoted over the phone. And never were sent an invoice. The funeral director just had my sister send monthly payments.
So no contract was ever signed?
bonjour Kari
Happy Tuesday!
Kari can you pay for your funeral viewing ahead of time even if your young I have my plot casket stone and open and closing and volt.
A Medical Examiner's sign off before cremation? "Yup, he's dead, $600 please!"
Hey Kari how are you doing dear?
Doing great Carrie! How are you doing? Wasn't there a new baby at one point that you told me about?
Kari Northey yes there was we ended up having a miscarriage but I do have a cousin of mine who is going carry for us she just started the process. I’m not able to carry anymore but they did get four healthy eggs from me
How can we have funeral expenses cost free for poor families? #fbi #Ustreasury #Carpenters #Marines
