Thanks everybody for your input on Paupers graves. I do know that money was not a problem. Also I do know roughly what the will will say about my grandfathers finances,.One member of the family benefited very well. Its just the small print I am interested in. Also when my grandmother died before my grandfather she also had a so called paupers grave. Maybe he just did not beleive in spending it on funerals. But some costs would have to have been born by someone. It seems a bit miserly when he could afford even a simple funeral. I'll settle for a dirty great bonfire in the bush. Best wishes, Sylvia in Aus.
