Re: Our Pet Lolcow's funeral
Funerary arrangements for civilians doesn't have to be all that expensive. Wooden cremation caskets are only $200 ~ $500, and are suitable for a viewing with a casket skirt (though not having a viewing saves a lot of bucks). Graveside services, silk flower rental, and a cheap concrete vault (where required by law) will cost about $600 ~ $800 total. The cheapest service I've arranged, which was still reasonably dignified, was only $800. This was just 100 miles east of
Fuckersville, so it's a fair comparison. If you arrange directly with a crematory, cremation services and a wake at someone's home is even cheaper ($300 ~ $600).
Still, that assumes that there's ~anyone~ on the planet who even cares enough to spend a few hundred dollars on Christian Weston Chandler. Frankly, I think that cast of characters is very small, and most - maybe all (including Cole) - are trolls doing it for their own amusement or out of some sense of obligation/guilt. Unless it was written into Chris' will, and someone agreed and signed the provision in front of a notary public, there's no statutory obligation for any family member to give two shits about Chris's remains.

Now assuming that he could have a proper funeral and he died while this board was still active, I can see a few of the more die-hard members going, if only to ensure that nobody decides to try something wildly disrespectful or stupid. I imagine that Rocky would be watching everyone like a hawk.
Honestly, what can the
"inner circle" do? If it's open to the public, they have no right to bar anyone from attending. Perhaps a facility manager can ask someone to leave the premises, after the fact. If someone causes a disturbance, and refuses to leave their property, they can call the police and wait until they respond. If it's a private service, held by his congregation, only they could prohibit someone from attending.
Whenever someone goes all
morality police online, it's just inciting people to go ahead and act out in spite... Just to prove that they can do something, which someone else claims they can't.
he is. He won't have a huge funeral, but some people from his church will attend, even shitty churches will attend a member's funeral, even if he really doesn't attend.
