The beat goes on. A funeral director in Oakland MD has been accused of swindling consumers out of $170,000. Once again the consumers pre paid for pre need goods and services to be delivered upon death. Once again, a seemingly nice and upright funeral director has absconded with the funds.

This is a never ending theme. Please never for any reason pre pay for any funeral goods and services. You may get lucky and not have a problem. On the other hand you may be a member of the statistical few who lose everything. It is not worth the risk.
