Pasquale died, and in his will he had provided for an elaborate $40,000 funeral.
As the last guests departed the affair, his wife Angelina turned to her oldest and dearest friend, “Ah, Pasquale would be pleased," she said.
"You're right," replied Maria, who then lowered her voice and leaned in close. "So, go on, how much did this really cost?”
"All of it," said Angelina. "Forty thousand dollars.”
"Aw, No!", Maria exclaimed, "I mean, it was a very grand affair, but $40,000?”
Angelina answered, "The funeral was $6,500. I donated $500 to the church. The whiskey, wine and snacks were another $500. The rest went for the Memorial Stone.”
Maria computed quickly!
"Mama Mia! For the love of God Angelina, $32,500 for a Memorial Stone? How big is it?

Will have to copy and paste the link - sorry!
Didn’t think it would make me laugh, but it did.
were you able to find the photo?
Now that is what I would call mourning in style! However this story is way behind inflation at $40k!
Joke forgot to mention probably his “young” wife/widow.
🤣
Yes. That’s what made me laugh.
