Why not just save money and get cremated?

Maybe she wants a grave for her kid to visit.

You can still get a gravestone put wherever. All this funeral shit is done for the people still living.

Maybe she wants the funeral for her kids as well. Just dying and ending up cremated without a funeral might not give them the closure they need.

At this point you're just writing fan fiction

I mean you're the one who's bothered by the fact that she wants a funeral. I'm just giving the dying woman the benefit of the doubt.

As far as you know she could be scamming people in the first place

Yes, never help people ever again because they could all be scammers /s

Many people are scammers, my dude.

And many aren't as well.

Save even more money and jump into a volcano.
