Funeral Discount for Being an Organ Donor

An Idaho man who owns a local funeral home has announced that, among other things, he will offer an $1,800 discount on funeral services to the families of people who donate their organs. 

The man received a life-saving kidney transplant a year ago, which changed his perspective on organ donation. Prior to his transplant, the man did not like organ donation because it makes subsequent funeral preparation harder. Now, he is offering a donation discount.

Special thanks to David S. Luber (Attorney at law, Florida Probate Attorney Wills and Estates Law Firm) for bringing this to my attention.
