In an interview with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/news\/business\/article232022487.html\"><i>Miami Herald<\/i><\/a>, Ed Michael Reggie, the founder and CEO of Funeralocity, explained his desire to make the costs of funerals and cremations more accessible through his price comparison website.<\/p>\n<p>Reggie told the <i>Miami Herald<\/i> that he believes funeral costs should be more transparent. Making this information more widely available should help make planning a funeral more straightforward and less time-consuming.
