CAREND FUNERAL CONSULTANTS are a relatively new wrinkle in the industry, and one we're working hard to foster. We, on our own, go out and do all the things a good memorial society should do. We keep our data current, negotiate with the individual businesses for better prices for our clients, offer alternate sources for funerary goods like caskets, outer containers, urns, monuments, flowers, etc. We charge a minimal fee for our services, but generally save the family several times our fee.This is not easy work considering the number of cemeteries, funeral homes, florists, and crematories. Also considering the fact that, initially at least, we are viewed by the industry as a threat to profits, which indeed we are. Once the death-care industry understands our reputation that we are advocates for the consumers, they will start to make overtures like "Send me your clients and I'll knock $500 off our non-declineable fee.", or "If you bring me your clients, we'll let them have pre-need prices even when at-need." Carend Funeral Consultants are happy to say both of these have happened and it bodes well for the families.Funeral consultants understands dealing with families at one of the low points of their lives is not easy, is rarely fun, and takes a special person. Carend funeral consultants are sensitive, dedicated, and honestly concerned about people in general.
