Now instead of a new thread since it's somewhat on the same topic. My dad and his parents bought cemetery plots 2 each all 4 in a row *there was a special ran on buying before you need it an a bigger discount to buy 4) in the early 60's Grandparents died one in 67 the other in 76 dad passed in 2000. fast forward to just a few weeks ago, mom got a phone call and I was sitting next to her and she said to the caller talk to my son, she then hands the phone to me. It was the cemetery wanting to "update contact information and talk about prices" her words not mine. I asked what info they needed mom has not moved, phone number has not changed. "well we need you to come in and update information and talk about prices" was told to me again I said well is the plot still available for mom to be buried there? "yes, but (insert line again)" I said you have got our current info she has not moved and YOU CALLED HER. well we (insert line again) I said apparently we don't since YOU CALLED US. SHe then said "Well your mom is going to need to save money for after she dies" I am like why? what will she need money for when she's dead? DEAD PEOPLE DON"T NEED MONEY! well we need your updated info (she gave dad's address in the 60's thru mid 70's) I said you apparently have our new info because not only is it is a different phone number but it's a completely different phone company, "Well we need it because we got it from your father's internment paperwork:" I replied well if you have that then you knew which one to use. "no if someone just opened up the file they wouldn't know which one to use" I replied well common sense says to start with the most current info from 2000 not from the 60's, "No we wouldn't" and she went back to the save money part, I asked her if it was a service product or an insurance product that she was selling, (I knew a funeral director and knew you wanted the insurance one since it's governed by state regulators and stricter laws, someone could walk out with the money from the service product and you SOL) She claimed she didn't know what service product was, but finally said she didn't have an insurance product and only morticians and insurance agents could sell those, I said well we have nothing to talk about then goodbye.
Poor little thing got told off 2 more times when she tried to call and hung up on, and when she called back the 3rd time and I answered again she immediately hung up. I guess she learned her lesson.
