FUNERAL RIPOFFS

Death. No one really likes to think about it; most of us would really rather avoid dealing with it. That's why the funeral industry has been able to steal the mourning masses blind, according to this site's creators. Put together by a non-profit group, this site has a wealth of information about planning a funeral, arming casket purchasers with the lowdown on how much those fancy boxes are really supposed to cost. It could use some better organization, but the information that's there is pretty impressive.
