No results from the vet this afternoon as the lab hasn't sent it through yet. We are assuming they are short staffed either with Covid or the holiday break or even both.
yep, funerals are not cheap. Although my sister-in-law being the ever practical person she is, bought a make-your-own coffin kit for $350. MrK assembled it for her and our niece who is an artist painted it with native birds. It looked fantastic!
She didn't want to be embalmed (she was a scientist) and wished to be cremated straight away. MrK investigated costs for this for himself and it certainly is cheaper. And then we had a gathering to celebrate her life a few months later when family could arrive from overseas and there was no rush.

Life is a one time offer, use it wellÂ
