My partner died in January, and we were cohabiting not married. It is bad enough that I had no say legally in the funeral arrangements. But I rang the funeral place to ask about flowers etc, and she told me the funeral had taken place the day before. His Uncle rang me to tell me a new date, and I wrote it down. I rang his dad to ask why they had lied to me, and he acted like I was wrong, and ended the call. If it was not a lie why did they not ring me on the day to ask where I was on that day?? I have a Niece who has bad mental health, and I felt bad if I did not tell her about my partners passing. Because we spent a lot of time with them. His farther banned her from the funeral so I asked her not to go to it. And I made it clear to them that I had.

We lived together for 34 years. My partner was 54, and we were a disabled couple. When I rang the funeral place they always told me not much, except what his family had told them to say. It was a cremation. You would think that they would have wondered where I was if it was a mistake. I will pay a visit to the funeral home to ask how it went. All my family have passed except my niece who has autisim biopolar. And I don't see her these days she seems to rage if any one disagrees with her.
