Hello,
My dad passed away ten weeks ago and myself (25yrs) and my half brother (37yrs) of whom I’m not close to) arranged his funeral together (he insisted). We engaged a solicitor as my father left an insurance policy to pay the funeral and to leave to myself and my half brother. However, the policy will take months to pay (probable etc) and the funeral director has called every week saying she’s not waiting for the policy and that we have to come to an arrangement - we are meeting Monday. I was so mad with the insensitive things she’s said and was saying on the phone that I told her straight that I thought her lack of sensitivity and rudeness was disgusting. She was so taken aback and changed her tune (with a hint of rudeness still there) and we are meeting Monday. What would you recommend I do? We are probably going to have to pay Instalments. The final bill is -£900 due to funds from my dads bank account being released towards the bill with the final total being about £2600. Should I try and say about £300 p.m? If she insists on more I simply can’t do it, I’d be left with little to live on for months!
It’s such a dilemma and it’s so stressful I’ll be glad when it’s paid. I’d just have to get the money back from the solicitor. Not to mention the solicitor told us the bill would be around £1000 but then when I spoke to her two days ago she said £2000-£3000 🤔 geez.
