I dont know what happened, my mother has always insisted on insurance for her children or grandchildren, now since I have been caring for her, I have found no insurance policies and have seen no statements for insurance bills. How am I going to be able to bury my mom when the time comes?
I'm sure she receives social security each month. Start setting aside a part of it each month in a savings account earmarked as "funeral account" so when the time comes, there will be money in it. You can actually open this type of account at any bank branch....they can call the account "Mary Jones Funeral Account" with you as the trustee. Since your sisters are NOT helping you, don't even involve them in setting up this account.
Keep the funeral simple.....you don't need to spend $10K to have a tasteful funeral. An immediate burial in a simple box (or cremation) followed by a tasteful memorial service is an inexpensive way to honor your mother.
We've always been for helping with research. Dee
take care,
