[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 629195"] Forgive me for saying this and for being blunt, but she is dead and her living family's financial health far supersedes their late mother's desire to be buried rather than cremated. Even if they could raise the 7000, that money could be far better spent for the surviving family's benefit. Not to mention that they are stressing over raising the money in addition to grieving their deceased mother. She is dead, she doesn't get a vote. It may be noble and right to honor the deceased's final wishes when the funds are available. It is far more noble not to burden ones family with unrealistic, unaffordable last wishes. It's not up to her children to provide a burial they can't afford if the mother herself could not afford it and did not have the means to provide it. If she is in a better place (aka heaven) she will understand. (And if there is no afterlife, she will never know) [/QUOTE]
