After discovering his dad had a terminal ailment and only a few months to live, Ed Howard tried to prepare ahead for a funeral service, investing hours calling about to contrast prices. But despite the fact that he's a consumer attorney, he still got floundered. He didn't understand until much later that Costco offers reasonably priced caskets.
