Well , Christian Fundamentalist believe ," One does eat ,if one does not work ". So now the poor must pay with 'Welfare Reform for the dead '. I can just see the GOP Commercials for it now ! The Tea Party will make it a major litmus test ,and " all true Conservatives ".

So they're withholding a document necessary to wind up someone's estate unless you sign over several rights of the estate ... isn't that illegal? That sounds extortion-like illegal.

Funeral homes ain't exactly going broke, either. That's one business where business is usually always pretty good, because no matter what else happens, people are always gonna die. Even if a funeral director gets stiffed (so to speak) every once in a while, it'll be tough for me to shed any tears. Fortunately, I don't have many family members to extort. When I die, they can kiss my ashes!

We sure know how to screw the pooch in this state. I feel so badly for those people. Those funeral directors are a little on the amoral tip.

He says he holds onto those because one time a family who said they couldn’t afford a burial had received life insurance.

Isn't it crazy how burials usually happen before the death certificate is released, which is required to access life insurance payouts?
