Request for thoughts on a sensitive situation.

Let me clarify: the headstone was paid for, as was the burial. At the time he made his final expense plans, he wanted the headstone chosen from a monument company and had paid for it. Now, the cemetary is the one that is wanting the $1200 for an 'offsite monument'. That wasn't covered in...

Well this bird is about half the size of a robin actually. Both sexes are almost identical in color, shades of brown and tan. One adult is slightly bigger, leading me to think it is the male.

This bird has a nest on the inside of our open porch and laid 3 light blue eggs (very pale blue), they have now hatched and today looks like flight day for the 3 little ones. It doesn't look like a house wren or the like, anyone know for sure what it might be? thanks
