Roughly 3,000 of 22,000 funeral homes are owned by large corporations. Houston-based Service Corporation International (SCI) is the biggest owner, claiming a 14% share of revenues from afar, while still allowing local management and control. Other giants include Carriage Services, and Stewarts, who own thousands of them and cemeteries.Prices at the busiest of them could rise as much as 35% in some areas, following the acquisitions. While some are excited about the mergers that bring additional finances and services, others worry that the corporations won't provide the same quality of service, as given by a family owned funeral home.As of 2007, there aren't a lot of visible differences between the family-owned funeral home and its corporate-run competitors.

It can be especially stressful if there are movers in your home touching all your things, packing them in a way you would not have done yourself. Many times it is best to do things yourself and packing and moving is one of them. With a car lease for six months or a year, you will be able to accommodate your schedule the way you want it to be.In addition to trusting someone else, there is the cost.
