Kingsville,tx. Hello como estan I am blanca blanck blanco con our diary of a barrio funeral; a social gathering. Planning a funeral is something most of us have to do at one point in our lives, do I really have to do, you ask? Well I would say yes, you really need to. Just keep in mind it’s a very emotional event, when you are arranging a funeral for a loved one who just died. I will try to keep it as simple as possible. I would like to start from the end to the beginning.

First of all make sure they got the right plot. Makes sure a family member that knows or knew more or less where the plots are and who is to be buried in them and where. Family members can’t stop the funeral to measure the plot and see if it’s correct location. Believe me, we can always come back and move it.

Second, driving too and back from the grave site, make sure we bring back everyone single person we took there. And make sure if the big limo is already paid for that you us use it.

Third, which is very important here, try and make sure that all the pall bearers are under the age of 25 years old, or adults that don’t have any physiological issues. The worse thing is to see half of the adult men pall bearers leave the church during mass to use the bathroom.

Fourth, make sure that if the whole family is going to pay for the funeral and you don’t spend a dime, not to come back on you at a later date, that you didn’t do this and nor that or pitch in any money.

Fifth, make sure that you do have a power of attorney and not the moron of the family having it. It makes it so much easier on everybody.

Sixth, now you tell those bill collectors that you have been waiting for their call, she is died don’t call back.

Seventh, in picking a funeral home make sure you check with every relative that might have a friend that owes one. And make darn sure they don’t get any kick back on the referral.

Eighth, make plans on informing all your relatives if you can, if not find someone in your family that don’t have a job to make the calls. They aren’t doing anything anyhow. An if some donated the food make sure we cooked it and who got paid to do it.

Ninth, if a family member is watching over a serious ill family member and they don’t show up for three days, wanting explanations, just tell them where were you three days ago.

Tenth, don’t make fun of all the older relatives that are showing up for the funeral, they might be next.

And finally, if one of the family members is being irrational or ridiculous and insist on taking that ill relative home, call the cops.

I am sure there is much more but I just can’t remember. Thank you I am bbb.
