Should You Use a Funeral Negotiator?

<p><em>“Everything I do is on the honor system. There's no contract with me for families that call me at the time of death. My fee is 20% of whatever they think I saved them compared to what they were going to do. If I can't save any money, there's no fee. If they're calling me before death, my fee drops to 15% of whatever I save them. And then if I save them over $5,000, I've got a 10% program with what we call the American family protection plan. And it's a wonderful program.
