...but it was my brother in law who helped me through the funeral stuff. HE is an ordained minister and has dealt with many funerals and funeral homes. He knew the ropes. HAd it not been for him, I would have suckered for the scam like most people do.

Thanks for that hug, LS. Having been thru the struggles of cancer, I often type through the tears when I read of others who are where I have been. I know what they are going through and how really tough it is, and it breaks my heart to think of it.
