Funeral directors have clout (they donate to politicians).

Monks don’t.

“Funeral directors suck(they donate to politicians and rip off grieving families).
Monks don’t.”
There, I fixed it for you!
Expensive caskets are the most ridiculous thing on the planet. (next to naming a star for your kid)

The monks are alright ... There is a federal law that mandates that consumers cannot be forced to buy caskets and other items from a funeral home , they can buy from any vendor and the funeral home must accept and use the casket.. this is to stop the abusive pricing games played ... WalMart sells caskets http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=casket&ic=16_0&Find=Find&search_constraint=0

I think those at St. Joseph's Abbey DO.

I'm glad the District Court found for the Monks!
