I understand completely what this man has said. My wife passed away a bit over 3 years ago, and after all was said and done from the funeral, to the headstone at the cemetery, I had spent nearly 15k. You know what? I don't regret a penny of it. Her funeral service was lovely, and gave myself, her friends, and other family members an opportunity to say goodbye and to reflect on the good experiences she brought everyone. It was beautifully done and I honestly believe I'd regret not having done that.

I think it's a matter of scale. Sure, you were able to afford the 15k, but I suspect that some of the people this man 'served' were potentially wiped out by the pricing. When there's no option between thousands of dollars or a pauper's grave, the system is pretty broke.

Can we get him to do one about weddings?
