    Actually, if you read beyond where they say they don't pay for articles you get to a line about professional freelance journalists.

    I think what they mean is that they don't pay funeral directors and their staff and industry suppliers for content. That's pretty common with trade titles.

      I assume the magazine uses product shots: coffins, limousines, national companies that arrange floral arrangements, memory books, thank-you notes, chairs, and chauffeurs' uniforms. I don't know the publication, but I would assume that it would not pay you well enough to justify your taking fresh images for them. There is no harm in asking, though.

      Allan, Jessica Mitford wrote The American Way of Death, but I think the movie you're thinking of us The Loved One. It was an unusually biting satire, considering that it was made (or I think it was made) in Hollywood. Wherever it was made, the movie's a little bit Mitford, a little bit Evelyn Waugh, and gleefully recommended.

    Oh gawd, what was that movie based on the Mitford book about the American funeral business? Robert Morely was in it. It's a classic in B&W.

    I come from an Irish family and people look at me oddly when I refer to "the family undertaker", but where I live, Catholics go to one home, Protestants to another. We don't really have any Jewish families - they would have to drive 70 miles for a home which specializes in that community.

      It doesn't pay? In that case, it really doesn't pay. Thanks for checking that out, Susan.

    Hi Ed,
    The operative word is "free". Funerals Today magazine doesn't pay for articles or photos.

    Journey of another kind.
