What to do.
During the funeral service for my father there was a problem with the grave and it wasn’t prepped for the burial ceremony. The vault company did not have the vault installed and we had to improvise by laying the casket on the ground. After the ceremony they placed the casket back into the hearse and waited for the vault company to arrive and finish the job. We didn’t stay around to witness this, but there were photos taken by the funeral director to show us the vault was indeed installed.
I don’t know what value you place on this as we were grief stricken as it was but would be appropriate for the funeral home to attempt to make things right for us?

Barry—That is AWFUL.
Call, bitch, whine, complain. And re-read anything family members signed before hand so you know what cards they hold, and what you hold in terms of responsibility. I won’t comment on what exactly went through my mind when you said this as I don’t want to worry you, but that sounds kind of shady to me. It could be a fluke, but it’s still not acceptable.
It’s their job to make things go smoothly for you, as a grief-stricken family member and their customer!. Funeral homes usually pride themselves on this, but it could have been out of their control. I’m so sorry to hear that this happened to you! I would at least try to get back some portion of fees for the services they didn’t provide in a timely manner, which is obviously causing some distress.
Good luck to you. RIP Barry’s Dad!

Thanks Amanda. Its just one of those things you have to deal with at this time I wanted to get some objective feedback before we attempted to talk to the funeral home.
Amanda says
Good luck!

Hi Jenny,
Just finished reading your book & thought it was light hearted fun til I got to part about your Mom’s passing. It really hit home for me.My mother passed a couple of months ago & we were not very close. (unlike you)She was super critical without being warm or affectionate,still I did my daughterly duties for her.
You said there was a certain freedom after her passing & I really feel that ,but was afraid to verbalize it. Thanks for your honesty from my heart.
Jenny says
even if your mom had a hard time expressing it, she did love you. and i am sure did the best she could. mothering isn’t easy… and harder for some than others. be afraid to verbalize nothing… we are all ultimately the same! xo.
