Why is it ILLEGAL to Sell This Box?

from Beyond the Brief

Candi Mentink and Todd Collard sell personalized caskets to honor the deceased person’s unique life. They can ship these caskets almost anywhere in the world, but they can’t sell them to people in their own state of Oklahoma. That’s because Todd and Candi are up against one of the strongest economic cartels in America: the funeral industry.  Today we chat with IJ attorneys Renée Flaherty and Ben field to discuss how IJ is burying the funeral cartel— thereby lowering prices and giving everyone more choice in how they live and die.  https://youtu.be/ndEgQjxvcIQ https://youtu.be/IIZUmFKirdk Become a Monthly Donor Are you looking for a rewarding and consistent way to support IJ’s work?  Become a member of our Merry Band of Monthly Donors and stand shoulder to shoulder with our clients every month of the year.
