Her cousin.Who’s the random man she’s with at all hours ?
Yep. I think the undertaker took the piss. The church had bottles of water and tissues for everyone in the first 3 rows. All paid for by us of course.10k for a funeral???
We were warned by someone before we went to funreal home etc to be very careful that you can get carried away with emotions and things can be some what pushed on you that when you get the bill you are shocked so we were prepared by no way were we mean but at the Same time we were sensible. Even tbe announcement on local papers can run into hundreds we put it on one once and to be honest people check RIP.IE more .Yep. I think the undertaker took the piss.

I felt awful forward planning but there was no insurance policy so I knew I had to pay the final bill.so I had to budget for it every week and I was so glad I done so you can save by not haveing extra funreal cars I used my own car .I also advise do not use the funreal home recommended florist I saved so much by sourcing my own flowers.This has been an eye opener. We have a family plot already thank god.
My parents are elderly but thankfully I have small policies on them to cover these costs but from listening to you all I may need to have a back up plan.
prices are shocking I know the price shouldn’t matter giving a loved one their final send off but 1200 for a coffin that’s getting burned. I never thought they would be so expensive considering I got a whole wall of kitchen cabinets for less Which was a lot more wood and steel handles, the coffin we chose had plastic handles.I felt awful forward planning but there was no insurance policy so I knew I had to pay the final bill.so I had to budget for it every week and I was so glad I done so you can save by not haveing extra funreal cars I used my own car .I also advise do not use the funreal home recommended florist I saved so much by sourcing my own flowers.
Also the coffins you can run away with yourself wanting the best and most expensive but to be very honest not being nasty or cruel no matter what price you pay on the day they are all the same
To be fair who goes to a funreal to see what type of coffin is being used
I know its shocking the prices my relation warned me not to go over board because they knew sadly I was paying the bill .prices are shocking I know the price shouldn’t matter giving a loved one their final send off but 1200 for a coffin that’s getting burned.

We didn’t do an afters either. That was always the deceased’s wishes. But there was literally no cash for one anyway. Death was sudden too.I know its shocking the prices my relation warned me not to go over board because they knew sadly I was paying the bill .
They were also against a do after the funreal as it was money I just dident have some familys have sit down 3 course meals with a round of drinks fair dues if they can afford it but as my relation said you have hangers on just comeing for the free feed.
We were the same my relation said they would come back to haunt me if we had an afters they hated themWe didn’t do an afters either. That was always the deceased’s wishes. But there was literally no cash for one anyway. Death was sudden too.
There was a lot of shocked people that there was no p**s up. afterwards. Same people you wouldn’t have seen for 10 year and Won’t see for another 10 but most of my immediate family are not drinkers and never go to pubs so it was tea and sandwiches in an aunts house after then home. The others still got their p**s up but at their expense
