A Glittering Departure.

Sam died and left $50,000 in his will for an elaborate funeral.
As the last attenders left, Sam's wife, Rose, turned to her
oldest friend, Sadie, and said: "Well, I'm sure Sam would be pleased."
"I'm sure you're right" replied Sadie, who leaned in close and lowered
her voice to a whisper: "tell me, how much did it really cost?"
"All of it" said Rose. "50,000."
"No!" Sadie exclaimed "I mean, it was very nice, but really.......$50,000?"
Rose nodded. "The funeral was $6500. I donated $500 to the church for the priest services.
The food and drinks for another $500. And the rest went towards the memorial stone."
Sadie computed quickly: "$42,500 for a memorial stone? Exactly how big is it?"
"Seven and a half carats."
