The Perilous Last Economic Journey
By Staff Writers
As a physician or other medical professional, perhaps you have not considered the immediate cost of death related activities; in other words – your funeral and its follow-up last expenses.
When one considers the cost of a funeral, with casket, embalming, burial and other itemized costs and service related expenses, the average price tag is about $8,500 and of course, purchasing the burial plot is extra. The cost of the average cremation is about $850.
Further information relating to burial finances, can be obtained from Consumer Caskets USA at 800-611-8778, the Choice in Dying at 88-989-9455, and the Funeral and Memorial Society of America at 802-482-3437. All have internet web sites.
Remember, life is a perilous journey.

Who does not like autopsies … and why?
Autopsies establish truth, detect change, provide hard data, instruct learners, and promote justice. Yet, they seem poorly valued in modern America except in many TV crime shows like “CSI.”
Dr. Donna Hoyert of the CDC, in August 2011, profiled the dramatic changes in American autopsy rates, noting that while forensic autopsies remain common, hospital autopsies for patients with diseases, especially in the elderly, have almost disappeared.

Plan your own funeral?
Most of us not only avoid talking about it, we manage to avoid thinking about it.

Even writers of personal-finance get a little queasy at the thought. But, not the ME-P.
