My mother reported an argument in the nineteen twenties between her father and his brother who wanted a loan.
Father: You won’t even have the money for your funeral.
Uncle: Just leave me in the Livingroom. I can stand it as long as you can.
Very sad. But I’m sure she could care less where she’s buried.
Safe ...and ......effective 💀
Mom expressed interest in being buried in the family plot, a cousin donated her space as she “didn’t want to be anywhere near those people.”
Mom’s arrangements have been in place for years, she’s still going strong, physically.
Why would you badger someone going through the stress of terminal cancer with this. Yeah, it may eventually need to be done, but 11 calls in a row to someone obviously having a difficult time dealing with a very desperate situation?
He’s a liberal douchebag going decades back.
I’ve always liked his music despite his odious politics, but I wouldn’t wish the ordeal of burying a child on anyone.
Unfortunately, it is best to plan ahead.
I arranged for my husband’s cremation (his choice) before he died and before we knew the outcome - nine detailed pages of info I had to fill out. Crematorium told me they would keep the information on file for two years.
Really really eased things when the time came and made the entire process much smoother. I was glad everything was already in place, I was overwhelmed and had enough to deal with at that time.
I heard of a guy who had a pretty uncommon last name. There just happened to be an enormous 20 foot tall obelisk headstone in the local cemetery that had one word on it….his last name. The person buried there was no relation to the guy as he was a recent transplant into the town from 2 states away.
He hacked the system by being cremated and having his ashes spread around the base of the obelisk. A permanent and enormous monument to himself that someone generations ago paid for and built.
Melloncamp is a wack leftist who injects his politics into his performances. Saw him about 8 years ago planning to enjoy the old songs. Instead he lectured about how Trump 45 was effing up the world.
I hope he is apoplectic about Trump 47.
Give the guy a break. It’s his daughter. He’s probably beside himself and needs to feel like he’s doing something for her. Nobody wants to talk about it, but is a conversation that needs to be had. God bless them both.
Honestly, why does anyone post their personal issues on any social media?
I want a destination funeral. Maybe Tahiti...
Sometimes you just dont know what to do.
Been there, done that.
This is very sad. Her children are still young. I hope she somehow survives and the cancer goes into remission. A small percentage of people do survive stage 4 melanoma.
Terrible....
