The Funeral Director always rings twice and the Funeral Cost question asked once!

In order to increase funeral cost at a funeral someone always makes an effort to collect names and phone numbers either from family members or those in attendance. This is a Funeral Cost Tactic--The Funeral Director always rings twice.

The purpose of the first ring is to sell funeral prepaid insurance for a funeral. This is the first ring . The question often goes like this"I really care about you would you like to pre-plan your funeral?"

The second time the phone rings- is the call after a death to make funeral arrangements and what happens there is the funeral director tries to sell you more .Sometimes it is quite subtle.
A Funeral cost question is always asked and happens right after you arrange your loved ones funeral. This is true whether you arrange the funeral in advance or the time of the death.

What did you sell? and How much did you get. This is asked of the funeral director who arranges your funeral.
