Tom died.

His will provided $40,000 for an elaborate funeral.

As the last guests departed the affair, his wife Bea turned to her oldest and dearest friend.  'Well, I'm sure Tom would be pleased,' she said.

'I'm sure you're right,' replied Maggie, who lowered her voice and leaned in close.  'How much did this really cost?'

'All of it,' said Bea.  'Forty thousand.'

'No!' Maggie exclaimed.  'I mean, it was very nice, but $40,000?'

Bea answered, 'The funeral was $6,500. I donated $500 to church.
The whiskey, wine and snacks were another $500.

The rest went for the Memorial Stone.'

Maggie computed quickly, '$32,500 for a Memorial Stone?

How big is it?'

Ah she should have cremated him, not burried him. Then there would have been ways of turning Tom's carbon ashes into that diamond...  Wink

Or buried him possibly.        Cheesy

LOL !        Smiley

But the ways to which you refer would result in 'industrial diamonds', not the real thing !        Roll Eyes
