He had, as he had said, set himself up as a grave-digger to the desperate. From those too ill or weak to bury their dead, he demanded a high fee. (2.11.7)
Some people, like Anna's pops, seek to exploit the suffering of others. This is an unfortunate but very real thing that happens: any time a tragedy strikes, you can be sure that there's some shady huckster out there looking to make a quick buck off of someone else's pain.
Quote 2

Although Anna has a pretty awful relationship with her father, she would never have abandoned him if she had known that Aphra wasn't coming to the rescue. That's a testament to her character. Despite the pain her father has caused her, she still has empathy for him.
Quote 3

Although Anna has never had a good relationship with her dad, his death still affects her profoundly. This is due in large part to just how gruesome his death is. This is Saw-level stuff we're talking about.
