What is the message conveyed in …

The drama reflects the height of materialism in society. It gives the message that humanity has been disappearing with time and now people are no more sentimentally attached to their loved ones and are only interested in their materialistic belongings. 

It shows that children today do not actually care for their elderly parents. They are just interested in their wealth and consider them a burden in their lives. They have forgotten the true essence of living together. The play satirizes the money-minded and immoral outlook of people in our society. It gives the message that  life is about how much you give, share and receive in a relation and how much you can respect the ones who were there for you. People like Mrs.Slater and Mrs.Jordan need to be defeated in their motives.

The Play 'Dear Departed' conveys the message that We should respect the old people at our home.The old people need great care and love.
