On the heels of this morning’s Funeral Director Daily article pertaining to a possible “expose” of the Death Care profession being readied for the big screen I came across this recent podcast in my inbox.

From the “Two Guys and a Question” podcast came this topic that is titled “Funeral Service under fire:  Pricing myths, profit truths, and industry realty”.

J&C Advisors principals Danny Jefferson and Alan Creedy discuss the topic in 12 minutes.  Here’s a teaser on the podcast that should drive your interest in listening:

In an era of viral opinions and social media headlines, the integrity of the funeral profession is often called into question. A recent social media post accusing the industry of “greed and corruption” sparked a firestorm of debate, and we felt it was time to address these claims head-on.

In our latest episode of Two Guys and a Question, we pull back the curtain on the economic pressures, pricing myths, and financial truths that most outsiders never see. This isn’t just a polite conversation; it’s a candid look at the business side of compassion.

Inside this episode, we discuss:

• The Reality of Profit: Why the majority of funeral directors are not building wealth through funeral service, despite public assumptions.

• Bookkeeping vs. Financial Insight: Why understanding your metrics is the difference between surviving and thriving.

• Regional Pricing Realities: How regionality and cremation rates drastically change the “average” ticket.

• Integrity Under Fire: How to lead with professionalism when industry misconceptions go viral.
