Also just found out that owner of funeral home who said they would work with us because he used to work for the preneed funeral arrangements my parents have been paying for forever says they're under new management(preneed) and he can't wait,can't use this service that was purchased specifically for that. He keeps telling me if "I did that for everybody how am I going to pay my employees?" Well we wouldn't have brought Dad there if he hadn't said that he could work with us on Simplicity. I'm so mad I could spit.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate them. -
Marsha - first my thoughts and prayers with you and your mom and sister today. Second: do some research. There is a licencing agency for funeral directors/homes and they should be able to help you. Call them immediately before you go over there. My brain isn't working at the moment so I can't think of the exact place to call but trust me, there is a governing body. This is fraud if they won't help after your dad had been paying into this fund.

Lainey is right, there are agencies that oversee funeral homes, you should contact them right away.

{{{{Marsha}}}} just take a deep breath. Do you have someone, a friend or neighbor, who could start the phone calling for you? Hugs and prayers!

(((Marsha))) I'm praying for your family and sending positive vibes your way. Saying I'm sorry just doesn't seem like much.

Please accept my condolences for you and your family, Marsha. My thoughts are with you. You've had such a time these last couple of years.

I am so sorry, Marsha. These vultures know people are at their most vulnerable at this time and they prey on them. That's why states have set up controls. The b*****d!

I appreciate each and every prayer and hug,they work! Mom and I went over to the funeral home with a picture of Dad(for the obit) and spoke with his wife who agreed to work with the Life Insurance Co for payment. Whew!!! That is a load off our minds. We then went out to eat at Applebys which is the first time in years,We had a gigantic chocolate ice cream thing for desert. We enjoyed ourselves very much except near the end we fell quiet. It's going to be a big adjustment living without him.

Buttercup, I'm glad things seem to be working out now for the funeral arrangements. We tend to call them a 'Celebration of Life' here now and having been involved in helping arrange 2 such celebrations in the past year we found it so rewarding emotionally sorting through old photos for a slide show of the loved one. There was also humour involved because sad as the occasion was, that person had enjoyed many wonderful and funny times throughout their life. I'm glad you and Mom had that wonderful chocolate ice cream moment and I bet Dad was watching on with a smile. It is a big adjustment when a Dad dies but you will cope.

I know what you mean by its not feeling real, Buttercup. When my father died, I felt for months that he was just off on a trip somewhere and would return any day. Even though I was holding his hand and supporting his head at the moment he passed.
My sister and I had an "ice cream moment," too. She came to see him for the last time about two weeks before he died. We went out to Shoney's and got some hot fudge ice cream cakes, and got really silly with my scraping my chocolate sauce onto her cake.
I'm glad the funeral home worked out its problem. Stuff like that is the last thing you need at a time like this.

Oh Marsha I'm so glad you found someone reasonable to deal with at the funeral home. I was ready to call you and be your advocate. I can be a pit pull with some issues and this is one I was ready for! Glad it will be worked out. Take good care of yourself and mom. As my mom would say, life goes on. It's just so freaking hard sometimes. Hugs and prayers to all of you.
