Many blacks depend on their insurance policies to finance a decent burial. These policies range from $5,000 to $10,000 and are fairly easy to obtain, even if one’s health is bad. The insurance company does not always distribute these funds to the relatives in a timely manner; hence the wait. Also, my extended family prefers to celebrate the life of the deceased person prior to arranging any funeral services.
