Harley and Shake, I feel bad for the chaos in both of your funeral stories. Luckily, all of my family members passing's have been peaceful events, thus far. However, I do understand about a greedy sibling. We had to put my birth mother in a lock-down Alzheimer's unit, about 10 years ago. My sister handled the estate, as I live in NC, and she was always closer to her. When they emptied the house, my sister had taken all of the cash and jewelry, possessions of any significant value. A few weeks later, when I came home to visit, my sister hands me an envelope with $2500 cash in it. She said that it was half of what she found/recovered from sale of goods. Years later, my sister gets divorced, I find out from her ex-husband that she had actually pocketed over $15K in cash and proceeds of sales.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
