Thanks for visiting the Funeral Help Program. You might want to put a BOOKMARK here, or key it into your HOTSPOTS file. Death is dear enough in terms of emotional capital, without the added stress of a financial burden, so if we've helped, let your friends know. If there's something more we can do, let US know.

If you would be interested in sponsoring this site, exchanging links -- particularly Women's Groups, since fully 75% of all arrangements are made by women! -- or if you're a responsible member of the funeral industry who has the guts to cross-link with it, please E-mail us. We're all in this together.
