R.I.P.

I was met at the grave site by Gerald Chambers, attorney, who informed me that a certain Robert Wright had arrived yesterday while poor Albert was still in transition from tray to urn, and that Mr. Wright produced power-of-attorney for me authorizing him to collect the sum on my behalf.
He was accompanied by a shady middle eastern man who, Mr. Chambers said, answered to the name Akim. But whose signature in the cemetery registry read: Stanley Lebodo.
Now what?
