Panagiota Romios Poet Quatrain

Sleazy Funeral Directors

Having known scoundrels, like these up close,
Happily using your monies on which to dine
Family coffers stuffed, be they duly accursed!
High cost yes,your money buys them fine wine.

Why stand you chairlesss,at graveside service,
As these pretentious mongrels at you,widely smile.
Are you not aware of their most greedy malice?
You, the mourning,blind,unaware of their unholy guile.
Let serving all the grieving, be their primary practice.

Darlene De Beaulieu April 16, 2023 at 11:34 AM Hello Panagiota, yes funerals are expensive. It has always been that way. Hugs, /Darlene./ xxx Darlene De Beaulieu April 18, 2023 at 11:22 AM Hello Panagiota, Funerals are expensive here to in Canada. The dollar is high here as well. Yes years ago the directors were kind to the bereaved. Now they want the dollars. Hugs /Darlene\ xxx Panagiota Romios April 16, 2023 at 1:58 PM I don’t know about that, Darlene. Most folks opting for cremation these days and no cemetery plots. I was referring to years ago..bUT back then, the funeral directors were very kind to the bereaved. Prices on all things skyrocketed, thanks to our president who thinks the USA is the piggy bank for the entire world. It’s more than disgusting, and he’s wrecked the value of a dollar! Pangiexxxoo
