Have you heard about the Missing in America Project? Their mission is to locate, identify and inter the unclaimed cremated remains of American veterans through the joint efforts of private, state and federal organizations. To provide honor and respect to those who have served this country by securing a final resting place for these forgotten heroes. To date they have visited 592 funeral homes, identified 491 unclaimed veterans cremains and interred 321.
Many veterans are unaware of the benefits available to them. Most funeral homes won't even mention these benefits! At Indiana Funeral Care, we are proud to serve veterans and their spouses and work hard to make sure they get all of the benefits to which they are entitled, such as:

Yesterday I wrote about the people of burma who struggle very hard to pay for a $94.00 funeral. Today I read about the funeral for a Princess in Thailand (which borders Burma to the East). The funeral rites -- including a procession of nearly 6,000 soldiers and an outing of ancient teak carriages -- carry a price tag of at least 300 million baht or 8.9 million dollars. Incredible.
At Indiana Funeral Care, our most expensive, complete church funeral is $4,790 and includes all professional services, a high-quality casket, same day visitation, death certificate, flowers and a memorial package.

William Gladstone said, “Show me the manner in which a nation or a community cares for its dead and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender sympathies of its people, their respect for the laws of the land and their loyalty to high ideals.”
It is interesting to read about the funeral practices in other countries. In Burma, for example, the average funeral and cremation costs 120,000 kyat (about $94.00). This in a country where the average annual income per capita is $200. One alternative used by some poor residents in villages around Rangoon is to allow a “funeral contractor” to handle the funeral. Basically, a funeral contractor runs a gambling den at the funeral home and people come to the funeral and gamble. They share some of the money with the family and in return, the poor family receives a funeral service.
At Indiana Funeral Care you can get a complete cremation with memorial service for $1,795 or a complete traditional funeral starting at just $3,950. In addition, you can pre-pay using one of several affordable payment options and lock-in today's prices. No gambling required.

The publisher of a new book called "When the Sun Goes Down: Planning the Funeral of Your Life" gave away a life-sizeed casket bookcase in a recent raffle promoting the book.
Numerous books have been written with standard forms to be filled out and specific instructions to be followed for planning your funeral. When the Sun Goes Down makes a giant leap of faith and suggests that you create your very own funeral service. Just as traditional wedding vows did not quite “say it all” at your wedding, nor did the traditional “hospital birth” suffice for your baby’s delivery, neither must you compromise this final celebration of your life with a customary funeral service. You are entitled to make this last celebration of your life entirely your own! The information in this book is meant to spark your imagination and assist you in this exciting and stimulating process!
Indiana Funeral Care can help you plan and pay for your funeral so that you get the celebration of life you desire and your family doesn't have to worry and wonder what you would have wanted. We offer low cost caskets, discounted funeral and creamtion services and most of all, peace of mind.

I just read a story about three orphaned children in the UK who are having to sell everything they own on Ebay to pay for their mother's funeral. You can read the whole story HERE. They were quoted a price of 2,515 British Pounds (or about $3,800) for a cremation with a church memorial service. At Indiana Funeral Care a cremation with limited family viewing and a church memorial service would only cost $1,795. Thankfully, their county government and a local football club offerd to help pay for the funeral. Pre-planning is another great way to save money on funeral arrangements.

The U.S. Navy will also scatter ashes from a war ship and conduct a full military honor ceremony. Active military personnel are permitted on board the ship only, however, the Navy will send a video to the family. For those veterans who have given 20 years active duty, they are entitled to a free burial at sea.

I was reading some statistics on cremations in the United States. It appears that Hawaii has the highest percentage of cremations at 66.32% and Alabama has the lowest at 9.47%. The U.S. as a whole is running at about 33% (as of 2006).
In these difficult financial times many people are looking for discount funerals or cheap caskets. Pre-planning your funeral is another excellent way to save money. Pre-planning allows you to lock in today's prices and protects your family from the emotional and financial stress. Call us at 1-866-570-0029 to find out more.
At Indiana Funeral Care we can provide a dignified and memorable celebration of life whether you choose cremation or burial.
