Funeral Insurance or not

There are far too many ads on TV for funeral insurance. I think it's reasonable, the main benefits seem to be peace of mind and the fact that it's so cheap, however there seems to be a bit of clutter in the market. Aussie, Real and the other mob need to think about getting a cutting edge instead of constantly featuring some mopey old poof who couldn't afford to put his wife in the ground.

As mentioned, the low cost is a key here. They seem to all be about $3.50 per week. Why not combine with another product that's $3.50 per week like a pensioner bus pass, or a packet of werthers caramels or one of those Krisco Hampers? The hampers are always popular at this time of year and seem to appeal to the elderly and destitute. I'm sure if they teamed up that they could offer some sort of massive hamper body disposal system. They could then on sell the bodies to pet food companies and gran could make a reappearance at next years xmas gathering. Not only is it economical and green friendly, it ensures that your loved ones keep coming back to your meals for years to come.
