my father greg passed away on the 13th of march only family 20 yr old daughter left with funeral bill and no way to pay

Taranaki

on the 13th of march 2015 my father greg passed away welst being arrested, he was wanted on an apparent attack on his father.

my dads upbringing played a big part in his life and unfortunatly that stuck with him throughout his life

my dad was parked up at the beach in the comfort of his car when found, there was a patrol car parked directly behind him and no way for him to escape . all windows in his vehcle were smashed except windscreen welst he was in the car, he was pepper sprayed, attacked by dogs and tasered twice although it is not clear weather or not the second taser struck him, once they got him out of the car he was seen to be having difficulty breathing and passed away.

my dad to me had gotten to a stage in his life where he was very sick and depressed, he wasnt going anywhere and someone should have been on scene to talk to him and help talk him out of the car , instead of such forceful measures. which may have led to the passing of my dad .

he was said to be well knowen to police and doesnt even have a crimminal record. he was also rumered to be heavily into the drug scene which is also false

im his daughter, a 20 year old photography student. after being told i would qualify for an acc grant i went ahead and organised a small funeral for my dad but have now been denied funding with funeral costs adding upto $6148 and then burial costs and no money to pay for it no life insurance no savings nothing, he had cut off all ties with everyone in the family and hadnt had contact with anyone except me for years, he was pretty much dosowned from the family leaving me with the costs of his funearl.

my dad was a good man and he deserved to die with dignity and i hope at some stage he gets justice from what happend to him .

May you be blessed with all the causes of happiness and good fortune Filial piety in the past did not refer only to serving your parents when alive and mourning after death. The important thing is to make a name for your parents. Serving when alive and mourning after death are certainly filial acts. However, if a son can study and establish himself, transfer filial piety to loyalty and win great renown, so that people can trace his virtue to his parents and say, "how lucky to have a son like this," this is called making a name for your parents and the greatness of filial piety.35 There are five human relationships, the sovereign and parents are the most important. Those who are filial to their parents will also be loyal to their ruler. Serving his parents with filial piety, thus his loyalty can be transferred to his sovereign (ibid., pp. 150-151). http://my-new-life-in-asia.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/filial-piety-in-chinese-culture.html
