Trouvere, different funeral homes handle things in different ways. The FH that I work for tries very hard to keep costs down for those who can't afford a large bill. He offers the videos to everyone. I charge $100 for 40 slides/2 songs. But no pressure is ever put on anyone to purchase. IF they want them, they are available. Many people simply cannot afford them.
I interviewed for another FH in this area. At that one, he figures the cost of the video into every funeral. (meaning that he tacks on the extra $100's to the cost of the funeral). They can choose whether to get a video or not. But either way, he charges the same. So if they choose not to, he's made those extra $$'s for nothing. I am not working for this person. There was too much we disagreed on. And frankly, the man I work for is the very best funeral director I have ever seen - seriously!!

Our cost to make the first is about 22.00 then 3.50 for each additional.
I personally could NEVER justify 100.00 for 40 slides and 2 songs....
THATS why they are not selling....
Just have the funeral home work 100.00 into the cost of each casket...then he can pay you and you are guaranteed 100.00 per funeral either way.
