Go Fund Me

AIBU to question why so many people set up Gofund me pages when someone dies?

I get it they died overseas with no insurance or if the family are broke and can't afford a funeral but what's with the raising tens of thousands for no hardship reasons?

Is this a peculiar trend?

There should be some sort of fund from the state.

There is if the family doesn’t have the money. It just won’t be a big funeral.

It’s just cost us £6000 to bury FIL. I’d imagine if you can’t get your hands on that kind of money it would be awful 🤷🏼‍♀️
