Group, Enough of this, this was Rick's son. And please remember that at the time that he needed to make the decision about his funeral, he did what he felt was appropriate for the occasion. The information that is coming out is helpful for the future, but doesn't help right now when feelings are pretty raw. Can we table this discussion for a little later, like, a month or longer........... If you don't agree with me, I'm sorry, but let me know directly to my email so it doesn't clog up the board. Take care everyone and try to stay warm. Hugs to all, Barbara A In a message dated 1/8/2009 9:52:46 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, fr...@franksheldon.com writes:

The insurance tends to be a rip-off. Intense situations give the mortuary a lever to "Up- grade" the costs. People need to realize that they are being ripped off- most towns and cities have the ability to "take care" of the dead without any cost. hope that helps F **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
