  Funeral
  Expense 

   

   Fred died. His will provided $30,000 for an elaborate
  funeral. As the last guests departed the affair, his wife, Helen, turned to her
  oldest friend."Well, I'm sure Fred would be pleased," she
  said.

  "I'm sure
  you're right," replied Jody, who lowered her voice and leaned in close. "How
  much did this really cost ?" 

  "All of it," said Helen. "Thirty
  thousand."

  "No!"
  Jody exclaimed. "I mean, it was very nice, but $ 30,000?"

  Helen answered, "The funeral was $6,500. I donated $500
  to the church. The wake, food and drinks were another $500. The rest went  for
  the memorial stone."

  Jody
  computed quickly. "$22,500 for a memorial stone? My God, how big is
  it?!"
  "Two and a half carats."

  I think I'd be willing to buy a big memorial stone too if Cahuna passes away first.  I'll let him know:P
