I would think so. It is clear that the idea that $5600 is clearly too little is disingenuous unless Cindy went all out on a casket or something equally extravagant. Costs can add up quickly for a funeral and often the family is in no position to thoughtfully consider financial matters in the heat of decision-making. I have always believed one should have an advisor not so emotionally involved accompany the family in making funeral decisions.

That was approximately the cost of my father-in-law's modest funeral in rural PA and he already owned a plot. It doesn't seem unreasonable. Couldn't Casey have been buried in a National cemetary?

When my father died it cost well over $10,000.00 to bury him. Visitation at the funeral home the night before the service. The same casket used at Arlington. Church service. Various transportation. Crypt. Sticking him in the ground and then covering him up.

Not terribly extravagant. Costs add up quickly.

But to impune the reputation of the funeral director is outrageous.
