This week’s Digging Deeper episode starts off the new year with an interesting topic - death.
Following an increase in burial and internment fees at several cemeteries across the region last year, the price of dying continues to go up and residents of the region are faced with the reality that burying their loved ones is continually becoming less affordable.
The News ran a few pieces on these topics last year, and this podcast looks at the bigger picture through the lens of a funeral home, putting together all the costs to figure out what does it cost to die in the GV?
Listen to the full episode below.
