When mom passed away, I was just looking for a style/color of casket that she wanted so I could print out a picture and take it with me. The printout happened to have the price on it and the funeral home ended up getting it and giving us a 30% discount on it compared to the online price.

Never even thought of doing that, it was just a coincidence.

I’ll hold you and your wife in my thoughts.
