I did find more to read and saw that there was a coffin provided to bury the veteran in...thank goodness!

Can you not read. It sounds like...means it sounds like to me. Btw..sister In law of deceased says the family agreed to it..including the son...then someone wanted to cause a problem. She is on the side of the nursing home

Insults are not an argument. They’re what people use who have no argument.

What did you read that made it “sound like” the family didn’t want to spend the insurance money on the funeral?

[RummyChick]

I am not going down your rabbit hole. I know your M.O.

I said what I said. It sounds like it to me. There was obvious disagreement in the family.

that is all.

Iow, there is NOTHING in any of the stories that makes it “sound like” the family didn’t want to spend the insurance money on the funeral.

My dad was a WW2 vet. He died alone in a little trailer just north of Phoenix in 1983. I am the youngest of four brothers. Someone from the Phoenix PD contacted my brother in New Jersey and told us he was found dead. We all flew out from Jersey. In the funeral home we all sat at a table and asked if we could view the body. We were told the body had to be washed and it all would cost. My pop told me more than once he wanted to be cremated and spread in the desert. We told the funeral director this. He said Alright 300 dollars for a cremation and a urn. We agreed and paid in cash and we had the ashes the next day. My oldest brother couldn't take it and flew back to Jersey. The three of us went out by Lake Pleasant and threw his ashes high in the breeze by the hand full.The family probably had other options.
