The New York Times has launched a new online section called Open Topics – a “micro-blog” on topics such as health, finances, cooking, and a lot more. Check out the Funeral Arrangements page. It’s got a great overview article on funeral planning, and FCA’s executive director Josh Slocum is posting funeral-related news stories and features from media around the country. If you spot a funeral-related story online you think FCA or Times readers should know about, let us know in the comments section below!
