Dad calls his son selfish for wearing a new gray coat to his grandfathers funeral, insists he spend $50-60 on a new black coat instead: 'I have not heard from him since'

Funerals are a stressful time. You have to be focused on planning this huge event that appropriately honors the life of your loved one while trying to distract yourself from the grief that's currently eating you alive. I have no idea how people can get through funeral speeches and songs without bursting into tears immediately. It's such a huge burden to bear, and I admire anyone who can do it, whether they cry through the whole process or are able to hold it together when people are around.

The stress of funeral planning can lead to fighting within the family. There are so many trivial things to fight over for a funeral. Aunt June ordered the wrong type of flowers, and now we're out $300 for an unsightly arrangement. The adult children of the deceased disagree on whether to have a closed or open casket. In this case, one of the grandsons isn't wearing a perfectly black outfit like his dad wants him to.
