Field notes
The page previews a repeatable chapter format: a short “secret,” a plain-language account of what happens, implications for the family, then questions, scripts, and checklists. Its sample material moves from decisions in the first hour after a death to the federal funeral price list and embalming. The author is identified as a funeral director with forty years’ experience; the site says the chapters are sourced, but this extract does not establish the guide’s accuracy or update date.
