Q: Is requesting a funeral through a group like ordering food, or what is it like?

 

A: Funerals are complex and very detailed. No firm will allow you to order a funeral like you order McDonald's, in fact, using "Order" when you talk about requesting a funeral isn't even a good representative term.
