Bereavement - what to do?
29 Answers
My brother-in-law died last October. He'd been married twice. 2 sons from his first marriage, 1 son from his 2nd.
A few days after the service, the youngest son collected the ashes, but didn't make any payments. 10 months later, I've got the undertakers phoning ME about HIS bill. If it was my decision, I'd leave it to run it's course, but the rest of the family want to dispose of the ashes according to the deceaseds' wishes. And we don't know if that has happened. Some of them want to pay the bill and have it done with, but will they get the ashes? The youngest son is called Andrew Cooper, of Woodvale Court, Hollins, Middleton, Manchester. I think he's besmirching his fathers' name in behaving like this.

U could take the son to court to claim the cost back. Surely tis better to clear ur bruvs debts? Also the son is ur nephew......life is long, you will have ur reward of his respect, in time!
