A Grave Error In Judgement, Part 2

I work in the funeral business. Some of the most backhanded and entitled family behavior happens here.

Today, we have a lady who signed a contract to buy a grave back in 2020 and has not made a single payment toward it. She got a letter saying that she had until the end of her payment plan in December 2024 to pay in full or the grave she signed for would be essentially repossessed and put back into inventory.

She comes in all in a huff.

Lady: “Why are you repossessing my grave?!”

Me: “You haven’t made any payments on it.”

Lady: “Well, no! Eventually, I’m going to die, and when I do, my daughter will get all my money, so she can pay for the grave then.”

Essentially, she signed a contract agreeing to pay $5,000 and then just assumed that if she didn’t pay it, we would just keep the grave on “hold”. Then, it can be her child’s financial responsibility after she dies.

And then she had the nerve to get upset and throw a tantrum because we said we wouldn’t hold the grave she didn’t pay for.
