        The idea is that you figure all that stuff out for yourself beforehand, so your grieving family doesn’t have to make a lot of quick decisions.

            I personally agree. But if I pay for the cheapest option ahead of time, it hits different than a loved one deciding on the cheapest option for me, especially if they are grieving and a salesperson is offering them a range of options. Also, some people just want a big funeral for their own emotional reasons I dunno.
