Why should I buy funeral related products from
MHP-Urns.com?
There are many good reasons.
One – you can shop from the comfort of
your home at your convenience from your computer. There is nobody
looking over your shoulder to pressure you into making a purchase
you neither want nor need.
Two – One stop shopping – you can
make all of your arrangements at one location.
Three – Competitive pricing. You can rest
assured that MHP-Urns.com will offer you the best pricing
on your product purchase without shifting hidden costs to other
services as many funeral homes do to match retail casket stores
lower prices.
Four - Our products are very unique, they are
handmade by a select group of master craftsmen who put their heart
and soul into their workmanship.
Far too often high mark-ups are passed on to unwitting
consumers by funeral homes. Caskets are often marked up 4 to 6 times
the actual cost to the funeral home. And with 3 large conglomerates
now controlling more and more of the funeral business in the United
States and Canada, the industry lacks healthy price competition.
It's a situation that invites pricing abuses. This is why the FTC
passed the Funeral Law in 1994.
Jules Polonetsky (NYC Consumer Affairs Commissioner)
says the cost of burying a loved one is becoming unreasonable as
a result of deceptive trade practices and consolidation in the funeral
home industry. An investigation by his office found grieving consumers
were misled or tricked by funeral directors into buying services
or items they didn't want or need."
