We indians seldom go to US or other countries to see their dear ones. It is they who used to come to India to see their relatives of course by virtue of their well being. Therefore there cannot be any surprise in this particular case and you do not read between lines.

Do you mean to say that your parents would not come to see where you live,how you live at least once in 30 years,if you emigrated abroad.Would you not want them to see a different country,its people the beauty of another country.Would you not send them tickets out of your first salary?Is there no pleasure out of it?

it is very cosltier to all to visit US to see him, instead he can come with his family to see all of his family members and relative and friends in india

Very true, may be a harsh response. It would have been cheaper to get the body of the fellow Indian to the motherland soil rather than fly nine alive ones to the fatherland soil

Viji like that if you do ecionomics cost benefit analysis ofcourse dead body cheaper than anything it is already dead you can simply throw it in gutter and move on. See you should think out of the box. One Professor is dead and nine people going to USA to pay last respect that's all. Beyomd that whether alive people cheaper dead people cheaper, whether they should take air ticket or go in train Shatabdi Express or go in Town bus like JJ Travels all the way to Blacksburg to save some pennies they will put into SBI account, all those cheap thoughts should not come to you.
Let us pray for soul of dead professor.
