    It should be noted that the article says it was attended by the mayor and city’s police chief. I’m assuming quite a few more less notable people also came. I would also assume this increases the cost.

      The fuck? You don’t have to pay people to attend a funeral…

      Especially not with taxpayer money…

        You need to provide more things the more people come. Also, when the state is at fault for the death, maybe they should pay for it. However, most of this one was paid for by donations after Trump refused (which I assume would have come from his own money or his campaign money had he not, but IDK), which you’d know if you read the article.
