Default What Kind of Funeral Do You Get for $30K?

I'm sure if I search this joke has been around awhile...

Sam died.

His will provided $30,000 for an elaborate funeral.

As the last guests departed the affair, his wife, Sarah turned to her oldest and dearest friend.

"Well, I'm sure Sam would be pleased," she said.

"I'm sure you're right," replied Jody, who lowered her voice and leaned in close.

"How much did this really cost?"

"All of it," said Sarah. "Thirty thousand."

"No!" Jody exclaimed. "I mean, it was very nice, but $30,000?"?

Sarah answered, "The funeral was $6,500. I donated $500 to the synagogue.

The whiskey, wine and snacks were another $500. The rest went for the Memorial Stone."

Jody computed quickly.

"$22,500 for a Memorial Stone? My God, how big is it?"

"Two and a half carats"

If Sarah had had an orthodox funeral , wrapped him in linens and just thrown him in the ground, she could of come away with a 6 carat memorial stone, LOL

Default I could tell you stories

Having worked with "high net worth individuals" aka rich people, I have witnessed funerals costing upwards of $100,000 +, not counting the flowers
and if flying was involved.... don't ask
As to memorial stones....don't ask!
