"Yeah, so using that theory would you be at your husband's mercy because he earns 3x as much as you, and you're just a lowly teacher?"
BTW, try and keep up! You already "claimed" to know my H's flight schedule (that in itself was very scary) but what you missed is the simple fact that we don't combine money....snicker...idiot! Your statement "lowly teacher?" Well I guess that speaks huge about you!

See your ethnocentrism shines right through. Maybe if you actually understood that natives don't follow the same funeral rites as "whites" do, you'd know that for many Micmac's, funerals aren't until 6 weeks after the person has died, and been embalmed. So, once again, nice try jessica fletcher, but learn how people's culture works before you presume that we all adhere to your way of doing things.

I believe different "whites" may all have different funeral rituals depending on belief and religion. So lumping it into the term "whites" is really misplaced. I believe those of the Jewish persuasion have funeral proceedings immediately. Catholics, usually within a week. I am not sure about others.

My grandmother's family does not embalm, but immediately cremates.
My husband's family typically waits 2+ weeks, but not for any cultural or religious reasons.

Not sure if goes against MicMac traadition. I found few results. However, most indicate that they use Christian burial traditions and that they favor cremation. Most states and provinces also have laws limiting how long after death a person must be buried. Usually it is two to three weeks.

I'm not so sure that the 6 weeks and embalming were in any particular order. That being said....let me add....who gives a crap.
