    I attended a funeral in New York once where the family spent tens of thousands of dollars to put on a show. The sad thing is that the deceased was the only daughter who was an alcoholic and the black sheep of the family. When she needed help to go into rehab the family wanted nothing to do with her they felt she was a disgrace to the family so they never financed her rehab treatment. When she passed everyone was crying and spent a ton of money 💰 for a show funeral, paid for an opera singer at the church, a violinist, most expensive casket, horse drawn carriage, then there was a Reception after the burial at an expensive Catering hall where 500 guests was served in fine china. After this experience it opened my eyes to what really matters in life if only they assisted her when she needed it she could have still been alive.

      That is so sad. I had a sort of similar experience but the opposite. My ex’s cousin was a wonderful woman who worked hard took care of her children and like nice thing and good food. I admired her very much still do. She got sick and got worst very quick. And passed away. Her family fought over her things and her funeral was small and she had on polo tee shirt and maybe jeans. The family took from her young adult children. It frightened me. So sad.

    Easton, I think your a really wonderful son, who loves his mum very very much. nothing was too much trouble for you to try and do
    Everything and anything you could think of to please your mum. And please her you certainly did. When you went to look at her in the casket for the last time and felt she didn’t look quite as you remember, In my opinion, her spirit had moved on to heaven, so her light had gone out if you
    Understand me. You just saw the body she had been living in while here. Now she is free from pain, her body is whole again, and she looks beautiful as she watches everything you do. She will always be close to you...strong love such as you had, can never be cut. I’m sure she would want to throw her arms round you and thank you and kiss you. So close your eyes, think of that and ALL the happy memories you have of times spent with her, laughing and loving. Bless you for being such a brilliant son ❤️😘💐🦋🌈

      Plenty of hungry people in the world has nothing to do with losing a loved one who meant everything particularly your own mother, When you're going through that stress of arranging a burial and what you're spending on your loved one, hungry people doesn't equate. What's his own money got to do with that?

      The funeral director should have checked out the selected church it's layout if steps were present the gradient of the stairs the radius of the turn etc cuz any hiccups & it reflects badly on him & the Funeral home. It's a pity Euston's Mum's funeral wasn't smooth running. Those lead lined coffins/caskets are extremely heavy & normally abit wider than a standard sized vessel add a body to the mix & it's incredible weight to move especially by pall bearers whom may be new to this kinda thing plus they had to deal wid tight turns & almost lifting overhead.

I still cry. It still sucks, it never gets easy, but this is a waste. I would think you'd put the money to good use like forming a trust or scholarship in his name donating to help fight against the disease that took him. Love them while they are alive & can appreciate the love you're giving. In turn you have peace in knowing that they KNOW you loved & cherished them. I find people that do these extraordinary things feel guilt in some part for not being there as much as they could or doing as much as they could while they were still on this earth.

    Why do people spend most of the insurance money on funerals? The dead don't know if they're in a cardboard box or bronze casket.
