<prompt> Human: My father wanted something extremely basic and because of that our total cost for services is 2,500 to follow his wishes. This may not be a lot of money in the grand scheme of funerals, but for my mother who hasnt worked in almost two years as she was off and on his primary caregiver, she has very little money set aside just to live on.Shes had a hard time dealing with the VA while he was alive and shes not looking forward to calling them and seeing what level of assistance she can get from them. So for her well being Im asking here.Thanks!  <response>: Please voice your concerns to the funeral home management. They deal with this every day. I had my dad cremated and the facility gave me the flag for his memorial service and contacted the U.S.A.F. for an Honor Guard. Dad was retired from the Air Force.
