[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my previous line of work, I had access to / needed to review and audit regular people’s bank accounts for suspected fraud. One woman had lost a young child (stillborn? SIDS? Can’t remember) and she’d set up a GFM. Observations: 1. She’d asked for (and raised) something like $10k but only paid the funeral home less than $1k. 2. She received the GFM payout in a lump sum, direct deposit to her bank account. Literally the next day she began a months long shopping spree. 3. GFM took a decent chunk of the amount raised. I remember thinking, wow, remind me to always just Venmo the person directly and cut out the middleman. 4. I don’t think I just someone for going on a shopping spree. They lost a kid. (But in my case, the woman had also committed unrelated fraud so there’s that!)[/quote] Many funeral homes deeply discount or even provide their services for free for infant losses. I work in the industry and that is pretty typical.[/quote]
