Unknown causes of death that increase funeral cost. There are unknown causes of death that contribute to a lower cost funeral. There are also unknown causes of death that contribute to higher funeral cost. One thing is for sure if you plan but do not prepay your funeral at any age you will have a lower cost funeral.
.
Here are 5 Overlooked causes of death and their relationship to funeral cost.

1.Old age in 1952 Old age was eliminated as a cause of death. In our youth culture even the old folks like to think they are young. By continually thinking they are young older folks neglect planning their funeral and end up paying more in funeral cost.

2. The improperly directed ambulance. Many times an ambulance is not directed to the proper facility for your injury. This has even happened to restinpeace. If you have a brain injury you need to be taken to a hospital facility where there are qualified brain surgeons.
Restinpeace ended up at the right medical facility and avoided his funeral and funeral cost.

3. The non directed ambulance. Princess Di's ambulance did not go quickly to a to her medical facility. Many say that because her ambulance sat at the scene was a contributing factor to her death. Not getting to the hospital quick enough brings an unexpected death and often unexpected funeral cost.

4. The diverted ambulance. Often times ambulances are diverted. This is as serious as a heat attack. In the heart attack scenario you have 20 minutes. If the ER near you is full of
people without health insurance, unfortunate ones or legal or illegal immigrants you may run out of 20 minutes and find yourself in a sudden death scenario and your family saddled with high funeral cost. Just by stating this cause of death Rest in peace knows there will be hostile reactions.

5. The Rural Hospital cause of death. No this usually has nothing to do with facilities. It has to do with the quality of the medical personnel in rural areas. If you have a medical situation that needs a specialist. You may not find one in time in a rural area. Generally Rural Hospitals are 15 years behind the times because of lack of specialists. Restinpeace's experience is that the quality of medical personnel is less. The quality of Funeral director is also less and this raises funeral cost. A whole blog post could be made on the rural or country funeral director!

These are the opinions of Rest in Peace, your funeral guy, R.Brian Burkhardt.
