This post is not meant to be the end all be all of support for the funeral fees you are all talking about. However, you need to consider that all the costs of the funeral have a right now amount figured into them. Everything that needs to happen needs to happen right now. A special trip to pick up the body in professional attire at any time of night happens right now. Embalming the body happens right now. Delivery of the casket happens right now and most likely involves a special trip. The grave opening needs to be done right now. All that is like paying overnight shipping on every part you bought for your tractor and it adds up. Of course don't forget the fact that everything needs to appear and go off perfectly. When the hearse has 60,000 miles on it it needs to be replaced. You can't have it breaking down on the way to the cemetary with grandma in the back. The funeral home needs to be spotless, all the time. If there is a funeral visitation until 9 the night before and a funeral the next day at 10 that might mean a cleaning team of 3 or 4 working from 10PM to 1AM to find every fingerprint on the glass and every visitation flyer tucked behind the plants.

We buried my 21 year old sister (brain cancer) when I was 14. The professionalism necessary in the mortuary areas is probably the most necessary I have ever seen. You pay for that plain and simple.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
