The bigwood has held many other dinners for past funerals, they were also billed. How do you expect a business to stay open if they gave everything away. Everyone is comming down on them, when they were just doing their job. Why not a big THANK YOU to the six staff members for coming in either on their day off or earlier than planned to help this family. Those staff, just like every other employee at every other job should get paid for working. It just angers me how people are being treated in this town.

On Outpouring of support for Buruds comforting

As a Bigwood employee, it is sad to see a bunch of miss informed, ignorent group come down on someone doing his job. While it is true someone had their heart in the right place, they offered a location for a gathering such as this without concent or authorization. Unfortunatly, due to the cost of staff (that do more than just "heat food up" Tanker8), a fee must be charged. To all those above that commented on how a fee could be charged - why didn't you volunteer your services to help prepair the food, or serve, or any other actions that could have helped. It seems to me, as the Internet allows, that a bunch of people decided to hide behind a keyboard and talk without all the facts, nor the common thought process to understand the way things work. A business goes out of its way to lend a hand, getting staff to come in early or on their day off, and this is how our "wonderful community" reacts. Its a wonder anyone does anything good anymore. Lets forget about the cost of labor, space, electricity, linens, etc and focus on the fee that was charged. Before anyone comes down on Tom or anyone else for doing their job, you better look at yourself. How many of you offered to help? The Bigwood Event Center stepped up, why isn't anyone saying anything about the other businesses that didn't? Someone mentioned the VFW etc above, where are the comments about those businesses? Why is Tom getting blamed when it was other employees that offered the event center without approval? Seems to me the man was doing his job.

On Reception leads to misunderstanding
