Issues like that don't bother me. I'm more concerned about giving them the best while they're still alive. The only thing you can do for the dead is to bury them. So make sure you celebrate your parents before they leave this world. This is the best thing you can do. At 80 years, you can't afford to postpone this act of kindness. Birthdays are a perfect time to celebrate the living. Buy Papa and mama a big cake. Get them their favourite drinks. Even if it's coke or Fanta. Don't mind the so called sugar. At 80 years, there's nothing to worry about.

Whatever you do on a burial ceremony (or funeral as you people call it) is totally and completely worthless to the so called celebrants.

You are bothered because you intend to organize the funeral like carnival

Maybe if you get their church members to sing hymns, pray and bury them, you will feel much better

My Dad's elder brother died two months ago, and we are burying him 23rd and 24th of this month, the burial ceremony expenses and Aso-ebi bruhaha made me realize my dad is really aged, but I thank God every blessed day that my parents don't have those funny ailments attached to old age, 100% clean health, I just thank God.

I can relate! Both my parents are in their 80s, very close, I know both of them will likely go at the same time, thats the reason why I refused to be transferred out of my Church to another Parish, I just want to stay, where help will come, just incase it happens, sooner than I expected.

There are many things he can do. If he's a graduate, he can venture into his field, if it's practical. Although, he can acquire skills also.

Most important thing is that momey should be available to make it easier.

My parents are under 70, and even if they were, I'm more focused on making their old age sweet and comfortable. Don't let things that you have no control over bother you. When it happens, do wetin you fit afford but the most important thing is giving them the best on their old age. Death happens once, but life? You see life, it flows continuously until it stops so focus on life and think not of death.

If truly they are under 70, let's say 68 and 65 for your father and mother respectively, and given that you are almost 43, it means your mother married around 22 and this, by extension, means that you ought to have at least a 20 years child had it been that you followed your mother's good footsteps, or even if you had mind to keep the ones that entered by error. Anyway, I pray that God will answer your prayer for a husband very soon.

May God heal you of the misery you are experiencing in your life that is making you come to the internet to disgrace your lineage. Your parents think they have a son whom they invested their money to train. If only they knew the tragic truth.

Very, very unfortunate
