Life After Death Succession Planning -- Bringing in the In-Laws

Funeral service in the United States has a long tradition of being a family business. When in-laws join the family, it often complicates the business structure and the original succession plan. Written by Martin J. Buck, Life After Death Succession Planning—Bringing in the In-Laws defines the different kinds of in-laws and how these family additions can cause complications in the way the family business is operated. Buck, a funeral director for 18 years and a son-in-law for 24 years, is the manager of Mosher Funeral Homes in South Central Iowa. He is a graduate of Drake University in Des Moines, IA, and the mortuary science program at Kansas Community College.
