So we found out yesterday, thanks to our friend in the uk, that my 93 yo father-in-law's prepaid funeral plan is toast, the money is lost. The company 'Safe Hands' (and that's a laugh) is under criminal investigation, for fraud. He will be devastated to find out, as they were so pleased with themselves when they organized this. It paid for Steven's mother's, in 2020, but apparently went into administration early in 2022.
