[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think funeral directors typically lean across the casket and ask for payment?  Or do you think maybe they have a bit more common sense than that?  Nanny was insensitive and could have held off for another SEVEN WHOLE DAYS before demanding payment. I would be totally put off by the request, even as I reached for my checkbook and wrote the check. My opinion of the nanny would change from appreciative of her help in a crisis to suspicious of her key motivation ($$$).  I would have paid her in any event, but the Monday ask after the weekend death is really, really insensitive. [/quote]

The funeral director presumably sends an invoice and knows when s/he will be paid, and has a means of recourse if the bill is NOT paid on time.

If this is a genuine post, it does sound like OP's MB is perhaps not the most reliable person and perhaps OP wasn't willing to get up at 3am and work a ton of OT and not be paid for it right away. I know I wouldn't... you want me to give up my sleep, and my time off, because of something happening in YOUR life? Okay, but I want to be paid right away. You want me to extend my normal evening hours a bit, or come in at 7am one morning? Sure, add it to my next paycheck.

Perhaps those of you who don't understand the difference are not being called into work at 3am or having your employers nickel and dime you over every 15 minute increment on every single paycheck...[/quote]
