Cremation Urn Distributor Vows to Help Recession-Fatigued Families

MINNETONKA, MN - Perfect Memorials, the largest online distributor of cremation urns and memorial stones, is reaching out to help recession-fatigued families save on funeral and cremation costs. In today's troubled economy, many people must cut daily spending and postpone major purchases just to stay afloat. So when someone dies, funeral expenses can wreak havoc on an already strained budget and leave the family wondering how they will ever pay the bills. To make matters worse, costly decisions are often made in a matter of minutes, at a time when painful emotions may trump reasoning and judgment.

"At Perfect Memorials, we're always mindful that our customers come to us during the most difficult times in their lives. We strive to help bereaved families and individuals any way we can, and today more than ever, that includes helping them find affordable funeral goods and services," says Ryan Graf, president of Perfect Memorials.

According to Graf, consumers first need to understand the options available to them. "Cremation, for example, typically costs thousands of dollars less than a traditional funeral and burial, and other choices can have a significant impact on funeral costs as well. To help people learn more about end-of-life alternatives, The Perfect Memorials website features funeral and cremation information on consumer rights and options as well as topics like cremation, funerals, caskets, cremation urns, death, and bereavement." Graf also encourages consumers to compare prices since purchasing cremation urns and memorials through a funeral home is fast and easy, but consumers most often pay a price for that convenience. Graf stated, "With a little research, families can give their loved ones a dignified memorial at an affordable price with an online funeral and memorial product resource such as Perfect Memorials."

In most cases, buying cremation urns, caskets and memorial products online can result in significant savings. Perfect Memorials' prices, for example, are typically 50 to 80 percent below retail, and recently added to the website is a Specials page featuring more deeply discounted cremation urns.
