Most funeral homes will wait for their money or take a credit card.
It took nearly three weeks for my husband's insurance money last year.
I think that their grief is clouding their thinking.
I thank this family for their sacrifice.
You said it beetter than I did- the parents have grief brain. But fie on the reporter who made a sensational story out of this. There are no winners here.
I agree with you. Two weeks is not that long. I imagine most bills will wait that long to be paid. Besides, the bank says two weeks to clear, but they can release the funds much sooner than that.
I watched the video clip. It appeared to me that the family already had two checks in hand from the government, and the bank wanted to put a hold on the deposited funds for two weeks! If that is accurate, it's pure BS. The bank just wanted to use the funds interest free (or at an extremely low rate) for that time period. Banks have gotten very good at moving money around very quickly. A three day hold to verify that the check was legit is plenty.
