Writes the cost guides and explainers: direct cremation, comparisons, price lists and saving guides.
About Michael
Michael Torres writes the cost guides and explainers on Cremation Cost Guide: direct cremation, cremation with and without services, the line-by-line cost breakdown, comparisons with burial, and the guides to finding a lower price. He works from the researched price dataset and the sources listed on the methodology page, and his brief is plain language: every fee named and explained the first time it appears, and every claim tied to a figure the reader can check. His drafts go to the editor with the source for each number marked, and nothing he writes is published until those figures pass review.
