My Mother passed away recently.
She had her bury prepaid, and everything picked out.
It went just like it should have.
While at the funeral home we found out that she, (my mom),
had prepaid a funeral for her younger brother, my uncle.
He wasn't very responsible.
He spent 20 years in prison but, has been out about 15 years and doing well.
The prepaid funeral for him is in North Alabama.
He is married, and living with his wife in Lakeland, Florida.
I ask if the funeral home would honor his burial in Lakeland
with a funeral home in the area when he passes.
Since he wants to be buried with his spouse in Florida.
The answer is no.
He has to be buried in North Alabama., by this funeral home,
and in this cemetery.
The only option I was given was to cash out the prepaid plan.
Well, if I do that, they will only refund 70% of what my mom has paid.
Giving me about a $2200-dollar loss in real cash that she paid out of
her pocket.
The next question.
If it is cashed out, who gets the money?
He didn't contribute to it.
It was all out of my mother's social security check.
Ideals are thoughts appreciated.
