And you get what you want if you make plans. They should have called the VFW or AM Legion, depending on which he had the right to belong to. They would have helped.

In our day and time we’d think this funeral was from the turn of the century or 1800’s.

This is the country/gospel singer Joey Feek’s Funeral, a horse drawn hearse, a pine box, and a simple wooden cross, in a grave on a hill on their farm in Pottsville, TN. Even the Gaither’s were there. https://countryrebel.com/blogs/videos/114385155-rory-feek-shares-touching-photos-from-joeys-funeral

We buried my brother who was not a Veteran, in March with less, cremation which is all the money he had could pay for, no visitation, we set up his Urn, some flowers, on a card table and some photos, as he had no money to speak of. Held our own Memorial, played a CD of Hymns and spoke a few Bible verses and commended his Soul to God. He had no life or burial ins. We spread the cost among my sister and some cousins and friends to do some refreshments bought along with the flowers from Wal-Mart and we arranged. For now his ashes will remain with my sister until she can place then on our parents graves in Olney, Ill from Pigeon Forge, TN.
