“From the time you are born, Til you ride in a hearse, Everything that happens in between could be worse.” With his Death Perception podcast, self-help host Joe Casper shares insights on living life, death, and everything in-between. Joe has a unique vantage point as a funeral director. Here is to living your best life! Someday there’ll be an ultimate need but that someday is not today. Our Death Perception podcast discusses all of the myths and mysteries of the funeral business. We also talk about living life and doing the best you can for as long as you can. If you do nothing, time will pass and if you do something, time will pass, so you are clearly better off doing something. The only two absolutes in life are a chronology, the passage of time and the ultimate statistic, one death per person. We will talk about life and all aspects of funerals and making funeral arrangements. The funeral business is truly the last unknown frontier that people have been so reluctant to talk about. My goal is to give you inspiration from a fresh perspective. We have lots to talk about and much more to discuss. As my mother always said, “Life is a present. It’s a special gift. Chose wisely and wrap it well.” I’m Joe Casper.
Where to Listen:
The Feast of the Assumption. Do not Assume! Ask questions until you are crystal clear and if something is important to you write it down. You need to have a specific and absolute plan around your wishes. No one can assume what you want unless you write it down, get it witnessed, and notarized. Until then, live your best life. It is a gift, wrap it well.

The ultimate statistic, some people say the two inevitables are death and taxes. No. You can reach a point where you don’t pay taxes, but you don’t reach a point where you don’t get that one death. It’s called death perception, and I’m Joe Casper. Now, people talk about their own funeral and what they want to do for themselves, and in fact, it is the ultimate layaway plan. Let’s talk about funerals and funeral arrangements. Let’s talk about the future of funeral services.

Life is like going to the supermarket. We have a myriad of choices. There is a right way and a wrong way to do everything. And the wrong way is to do things someone else way or making decisions without all the facts.
“Good For You” applies to funeral planning. Make decisions based on what is important to you/your family and have clear pricing information so you can make informed decisions without any surprises. Your legal right under the Federal Trade Commission’s “Funeral Rule” is for each funeral provider to share their price list with you. The FTC “Funeral Rule” gives you the right to get itemized price lists that let you compare prices among different funeral providers. Funeral Providers must share their pricing information in writing; if you call and ask for price information, they have to tell you. There are benefits in each state for people who have a financial need. Each state is different, but if you were making funeral arrangements for someone, check with your state to see the benefits available for your loved one.
Live life. You have limitless lifetime possibilities, options, and choices. You want to be clear and specific about your wishes and options is knowing and understanding what is available.

What do you want your “Legacy” to be? If you were going to write your own obituary…what would you say about you? What do you care about? What is truly important to you? How would you best want to be remembered?
Now is indeed a time for reflection and renewal. The fact is… you are here now! Now What?
People will not be going to the funeral services of the past… This is indeed a new beginning. We need to hold ourselves to account.The old saying of the more things change, the more they will be the same, will be gone forever. It’s all part of who we are and how we have become who we are. But we are here now! Traditional funeral services have with all of the new now and future gathering edicts… Have quickly moved to the present.
