I'll just bet they wish they'd had Don White check the spelling on all those labels!

Don't know why all y'all are so worried about this. If all y'all died
in Nova Scotia they just feed your decaying corpse to the sharks that
like to vacation off our coast.

What? Alex or I worry? No way!

Surely you got a chuckle out of the story.

That story was all over the local news yesterday.
When Mom dies about 6 years ago, they insisted that we have a viewing
prior to cremation to avoid a mix up like the one out west at that time.
Of course this meant paying the makeup artist and renting a coffin so I
could go view and confirm that it was her.

Why a makeup artist and coffin rental, if the whole purpose is just to
ensure the body is the
correct one?


Why worry? Some things are not really worth that much. How many
pioneers were buried next to the trail and a wooden cross thAt might last a
year planted.

What, if it wasn't her in the coffin she wouldn't be dead anymore?

I always thought the whole concept was pretty morbid. When the doctor
told my mom was dead, I believed him. I didn't need to see for myself.

That's what they insisted on. Wife worked with the wife of one of the funeral directors where her mother went. He said he'd identify her mother for her ...no need for viewing etc. Saved almost $2K.

The idea was to make sure the right body was going to cremation...and hopefully to get the correct ashes back. Plus of course to gouge as much as they can while they can.

Lighten up. Was a funny comment. You and Harry need to see the wizard
for a humor gene.

So was mine, Billy. We wouldn't feed The John or one of his biggest
turds to the sharks. The sharks haven't done anything to us. They just
come and vacation here. This summer it was a Great White the locals and
media named Hilton.


Your comment was nasty, not funny. You need to see the Wizard

Oh no...did I upset you, or hurt your feelings?
Have another drink...it'll pass.

Do you really believe they don't just give everyone a shovel full of
ashes and say it is their loved one?
This is all symbolic anyway. I agree the whole funeral business is a
big scam. I just want to be buried in the back yard with my dogs. That
can be cremated remains conveyed in a zip lock bag or just hire a guy
with a back hoe and dump me in the hole.

Makes no difference to me. I will be dead,

Sounds like a future EPA superfund site to me, assuming ******** Trump
hasn't disbanded the EPA by then.

When the funeral home tried to sell me a casket for my mother, I asked, "Why, she's going to be
cremated. Why buy a casket that will be burnt?

Sounds like you got took! From what your wife did, there's clearly no legal requirement for the
makeup artist and casket.
