The Memorial Stone.

[Dr. Robert]

A man passed away & left a will that designated $30,000. to cover the expense of an elaborate funeral he wished to be held in his honor.
As the last guests were leaving the service, a close family friend asked the man's widow how much of the money she had used for the funeral.
"All of it," the widow said. "I spent the whole $30,000.."
"Oh," exclaimed the friend. "I mean, it was very nice, but $30,0000?"
"The funeral was $6500., I donated $500 to the church, the food & refreshments were another $500., & the rest went toward the memorial stone." the widow replied.
The friend quickly computed the total & was stunned.
"You spent $22,500. on a memorial stone? How big is it? the friend asked.
"Two & a half carats," the widow replied.
