His defenders will ask, "Well... That does seem excessive, doesn't it?" The racism will be missed or ignored, the service status will be ignored, they'll try to approach it logically. They seriously won't see those two items. They will latch on to what they can argue. "I'm just asking!"

See how easy that was? Next one please.

If the cost is the only thing someone finds offensive, that’s enough said.

Do funerals really cost 60k? Or what made this one so expensive? I'm not trying to defend Trump here because he's a racist POS but that number is terrifying to me.

They really can. And you should know your rights. The death industry is slimy AF, about on par with timeshares. My late mother-in-law was Lisa Carlson, a pioneer of funeral rights and ethics. If you are going to be dealing with someone's death or planning to die (and you should be prepared), it's important stuff. You don't want to get suckered when you are so emotionally vulnerable, on which the death industry preys. There are a lot of options which the death industry tries very hard to keep hidden from you and lobbies to remove.

Also: this is the offshoot of Carlson's funeral ethics organization https://funerals.org/

The murder made national headlines and there was a public memorial service. Most of us don’t have either of those

How much does it cost to bury an avaricious, racist, mendacious sociopath? Feels like there is a gag in here somewhere.

How much to gag an avaricious, racist, mendacious sociopath? Shall we start a GoFundMe?
