Not honoring your parent with a proper funeral is just beyond my comprehension. My wife fought her on this and now there will be a visitation and a public service.
The family is shattered and I am not certain there will be reconciliation in the future.
Lessons learned, people suck, plan your funeral, don't die.

Blown away. Just give in, let them parrot their excuses publicly, then be done with them. No need to be angry about it, but let them proclaim their cheapness.
Sorry about the news, you did your best and carried the cross. Rest easy, it's not your fault, you are the one who put the time, effort and $$$ into her final days.
