In Memory of
Fred died, leaving a will that provided $30,000 for an elaborate funeral. As the last of the visitors departed the affair, his wife Joan turned to her oldest friend and said, "Well, I'm sure Fred would be pleased."
"I'm sure you're right," replied Valerie, who then lowered her voice and leaned in close, "How much did this really cost?"
"All of it," said Joan. "Thirty thousand."
"No!" Valerie exclaimed. "I mean, it was very nice, but $30,000?"
Joan replied, "The funeral was $6,500. I donated $500 to the church. The wake, food and drinks were another $500. The rest went for the Memorial Stone."
Valerie computed quickly. "$22,500 for a Memorial Stone? My Goodness, how big is it?"
"Two and a half carats."
