Hi mandydog.  it's such a shame that people make money from grief and no doubt you are very annoyed and angry, very rightly so.

My wife died at home from aggressive cancer, 6 weeks after it was diagnosed. When her end came her sister who went through this with her own mum her dad and her husbands parents so new all the signs, and all the right questions to ask. she kept me and my son and sister from going mental. she kept us as a unit, dealt with it as a unit.

At the time things she said did rile me. but weeks later I kind of understood. she said my wife /her sister if you look at it that the body she used is now just an empty shell. and at the time of her passing she said she is in no more pain, I understood that right away, as she was in great pain. the woman at the funeral directors asked if we wanted the coffin open So people can pay there respect. We agreed to have the coffin closed.

As we looked at it as it was just a shell she used. Even 13 months on, as I'm typing this I have tears running down my face. I'll agree some people may think I'm wrong saying what I'm saying.  But at the end of the day the directors who arranged my wife's burial did the bestthey could what with covid19 restictions. the place we held her wake at allowed as many people as we wanted. I hope when your mums funeral happens try to celerbrate her life and not mourn her passing. wish you all the best for the future.
