Outrageous Cost Of Funerals - $10,000!

Re: Outrageous Cost Of Funerals - $10,000!
I completely agree. My FIL was dying for several years and had plenty of time to think and plan and pay for his funeral that there was no reason why we should end up paying for it. However, there was also a sense that "my kids owe me this after all I've done for them". Inexcusable and selfish, I know, but there it is. But when it came down to it, none of his offspring would put their hands in their pockets. Families are great, huh?

I passed a graveyard in Ohio once where the headstones were already completely engrave with RIP, name, etc. Everything except for the date of death. Sickos.

Hi All,
My dear Mother-In-Law passed away suddenly, last week, due to a Massive Heart Attack. We had the Funeral Service, for her, this past Monday.
Just wanted you to know that the cost for a Basic Funeral will run you about $10,000 and that is for a Casket made by our local Trappist Monks
Jim.

well it's a stone at a crematorium where my fathers ashes are scattered, and it's got my brothers name scribbled on it too, already paid to keep the stone in place for donkies years to come, and to add me on if the need arises.
