3. Coffin Up the Cash
Stuart talks funeral etiquette and cutting costs - can you haggle with a funeral director?
Stuart has hired the same undertaker 6 times for family members - so you think by now he would have learnt how to pronounce the word funeral! This episode takes you through the different options available and might just have you reconsidering that cardboard coffin.
When it seems like everything is getting more expensive; comedian, former banker and serial funeral-organiser Stuart Mitchell breaks down the true Cost of Dying. Using his own experience Stuart aims to find out if can we even afford to kick the bucket? You’ll learn so much about the hidden costs of dying, you may well decide not to bother doing it!
