simplyn2deepI got a call from the mortuary. They got a date from Riverside National Cemetery. The next available date for services is December 1 at 1:45 pm.
HOLY COW! That's in 12 days away and 20 days after his death!
I get it's first come, first serve kind of thing, but it just seems like too much time. Make me want to find out how many services a day they do that's given us a date that's so far away.
But I'm also assuming that since things have gone forward, that the mortuary got their money from the life insurance my mom had through her job and that by the end of this month we should be getting the remaining money. I also need to go to the Social Security office with my mom to sort out the survivors benefits stuff my mom should be getting from my dad's social security, but we can't do that until we get the death certificate.

Date: 2014-11-21 03:05 am (UTC)Sure! I had actually planned on going to the funeral but had a bad headache. Me sitting there all squinty-eyed and achy would NOT have been a good tribute to your dad. That's pretty standard with RNC, my dad said. We went last year for a burial and after meeting at the staging area drove together to the shelter. The grounds there are really so beautiful.
That's so weird. I wish I had kept a photo of it. It must be around somewhere on my computer or hard drive. Hopefully it'll pop up sooner or later :)
