Funeral Home Furniture

Never. But it is an interesting idea.

Live's Kurt Stoodley talks to Scott and Stephen Blair about their furniture business and funeral home, which have a long history in Perth ...

It would be considered doll house furniture but for a funeral home setting. I use to work in a funeral home.

So are you looking for this or offering it or what?

First off, it's not purchasing a home that is causing anxiety. In the past week, I've had three family members pass away. All of separate occasions, all unexpectedly. My grandparents (one on either side of the family) passed within a day of one another. After spending the week attending funeral services, I was home for only a day before I was informed my aunt also passed away.

Life goes on - and I'm back to work & grad school and have MANY deadlines to meet. To top things off, am in the process of buying a home. We move in next week. My fiancee is extremely supportive, but wants things to get done. Paint, supplies, furniture, packing. The list is endless. This is also our first home, both in general and in living together. I've been so busy preparing for the house and with work/school that I haven't allowed myself time to grieve.

I deeply miss my family members. While I should be SO excited for the house and upcoming holiday seasons, I can't yet imagine happy moments without them. I feel numb and confused, but mostly angry. I'm not sure what it is I'm angry about, I guess it's easier to be irritable towards my fiancee than to show how much I am hurting. It's causing tension between us. Last night, it all came rushing at once and I had a panic attack. I've never experienced this before. My nerves are shot. I'm overwhelmed by so many life changes all at once. I know it will all be ok and I put on a front that it is - but right now I feel so broken. Any advice on lowering anxiety and getting through these transitions?
You're missing the point of the question. We're recently engaged, been dating for 2 years. HE bought the house, it's in HIS name. I'm contributing nothing financially until we marry, then I will be added. The stress ISN'T simply about moving in -- it's about everything else that's happened in my life recently. This on top of things is truly a lot to handle.

First, make the time and force yourself to exercise. It will help to relieve the stress and built up tension, it will release good hormones/chemicals that your body needs, it will help you to take your mind off of everything for at least a few minutes, and it will help you sleep better.

Second, from what you wrote, I got the impression that you're frustrated with your fiance for focusing on everything that needs to get done for the house and not being there for you the way you'd like in dealing with your grief. Talk to him about this and try to talk to him about your feelings. These things may seem obvious to you, but with us guys, we can be slow to understand even though we usually want to be helpful. The built up anxiety you're feeling is from bottling everything inside.

I've been in a similar situation recently, so I've learned these lessons the hard way.

What do you think?

My 93 year old grandmother was just put into a nursing home. She is suffering from alzheimers and just can't live alone anymore. The problem is that none of my relatives with the exception of my aunt calls her or visits. It's like they are done with her because she can be nasty but that is the nature of the disease.

However, my other aunt who lives like an hour away went up to her home and helped herself to my grandmothers personal items, furniture, etc like it was just another garage sale. She refused to drive an additional half hour to go and visit my grandmother. the last time they saw each other was xmas.

my family does not gather for fun times like weddings, partys, reunions, etc. Only Funerals.

I really don't feel like looking at any of my relatives boo hoo hooing at my grandmother's funeral (when she does pass) because they are a bunch of fakes and phonies.

and my cousins make no effort to see her anymore either. or even a phone call.

would it be wrong of me to skip the wake to avoid the displeasure of my family's company and opt for attending the funeral only?
thanks everyone, i really appreciate your input

This is your Grandmother here. Out of respect to her you should attend both and remain dignified, no matter what the others do.

I have inherited my Great-Uncle's house and I want to keep it as it is a nice house. The will stated that his home should come to me and the finances and furniture should be distributed equally among his surviving nieces and nephews as the executor (my Uncle) see's fit. NB: He had a BAD relationship with his children and therefore, he left the entire property to me. The thing is everybody says that I should sell the property and pay for the funeral as I got the lump share. I am only 25 and everyone is really pissed that it came to me and not his children.

Do I have to pay for the funeral just because I inherited the house? Should I sell it?

Your Great-Uncle's ESTATE has to pay for the funeral - not you.

Estates have the capacity to divide families. People come out of the woodwork if they think they can get a penny out of it. I have seen it happen so many times.

The debts of the Estate are paid by the ESTATE. This could reduce the shares that the other beneficiaries receive.

Your Great-Uncle seems to have had reasons for leaving the bulk of the Estate's assets to you. That was his choice - it was what he wanted. If his relationship with the others was bad, then it makes sense that he would leave his house to you - that was his choice - he obviously wanted you to have it.

That is just too bad that the others are "pissed" - I would ignore them. They should have thought about it when your Great-Uncle was alive - then they could have done something to make their relationship with him better. Now that your Great-Uncle is deceased, the others don't like the consequences - that is just too bad. Your Great-Uncle obviously wanted YOU to have the house.

No, you do not have to pay for the funeral just because you inherited the house. Your Great-Uncle's ESTATE should pay for the funeral.

Can you use the house? Can you live in it? Is it in a good location for you? What is it's condition like? These are the questions to consider whether you keep the house or choose to sell it. If it is a nice house and you want to keep it to live in - then keep it.

PLEASE get an attorney. Do not settle this Estate by yourself. There are just too many potential problems here, and you could become the target of a lawsuit. For your own protection, get an attorney.

THE best way to find a lawyer is by word of mouth. Ask your: family, friends, coworkers, anyone you might know in the same situation, etc.

OR

Call your local (usually county) bar association. Ask for names of attorneys that handle estate law.
(If money is a BIG problem, you could also ask for the phone number of your local LegalAid office. - the attorneys at LegalAid are "real" attorneys, but sometimes in the field of Law, how much you are willing to pay does affect the quality you get.)

When you call the law office(s), insist on speaking with the Lawyer. Just tell the Secretary the main idea of your matter - do not tell all the little details of your matter to the Secretary - save the details for the Attorney. When you get the Lawyer on the phone line, ask him/her:

- Do they give >>>FREE, initial consultations for the FIRST meeting? (most do, but not all - you have to ask, don't assume)
- How much do they charge?
- Could you make payments on your account?
- Can they help you? OR Refer you to someone who can help you?

Good luck.
