[QUOTE="nvts, post: 90739, member: 3814"] I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. The veterans from all of the wars are so neglected in this day and age and it's a dam* shame that families are reduced to trying to cut corners while showing the vet the respect that they deserve. I did a search ("veterans funerals - financial assistance") and came up with this link: [url="http://veteranssociety.com/about.html"]http://veteranssociety.com/about.html[/url] On their presidents message, he spoke about most funerals running $10,000, but they can help reduce that to about $3,800. I don't know how valid it is, but it's worth a shot. Also, does he belong to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, or any other veterans groups? They might help you find ways to offset the costs. You may also want to talk to any church that he's affiliated with as well. They may be able to steer you in the right direction. Was he an active volunteer anywhere before he became ill? They may be able to help out as well. Just a few suggestions! God Bless! Beth [/QUOTE]
