“They were trying to avoid the high fees airlines charge to transport a dead body (for burial somewhere else) by pretending the dead person was still alive.”
If that’s accurate and I wouldn’t doubt it.....thstvis one of the most callous things I’ve ever heard.
Before my husband died, I was terrified he wanted to be buried in his home state of Pennsylvania, which meant I’d have to transport his body across the country for burial.
I checked with the airlines and at that time it was between $3-5,000, which I was prepared to pay. A one-way ticket to Philly at that time was around $150, or even less.
Fortunately, husband said he wanted to remain in California, where he is to this day, I’m sure voting Democrat, which he’d never done in his life.
