My wife is a case manager for a firm from the East Coast that assists patients in Indiana.  Since she works with patients that have serious illnesses, she often speaks with people that may soon be facing a death.  However, she feels it is a conflict of interest to mention our services and I agree.  She had an interesting conversation with a lady from northern Indiana that had recently lost her husband.  The widow was told by a funeral home that she was saving a lot of money by cremating her husband.  She was told that a funeral service in Indiana cost almost $10,000, so paying $3,200 for a cremation in Indiana was a bargain.   My wife was so disturbed by this, knowing that we would have charged $890 plus transportation of $200 to have performed the same services.
