People do all kinds of stuff at funerals now that was never done “back in the day”. I should know. I work at a cemetery. Oh, the stories I could tell…

Stephan, don’t worry – I’ll make sure your tickets get in the mail. Hopefully you’ll be free that day.

Finn – those are JUST the jobs I would have assigned to you! Because they ARE the most important things, you know.

Avitable – did you leave it on the floor where the dog could chew on it? They go for the crotch first.

I think my patchwork quilt has a whole where my crotch is.

I’ll man the stopwatch. And the keg at the after party.

It almost sounds like I’ll have to buy tickets to attend this funeral. Definitely something I don’t want to miss. What date were you looking at?

Mike, it sounds like your grandfather is on the right track. How freaked out would everyone be? COOL.

Penny – I think maybe a stand-up comic/minister would be IDEAL. Do they even have those?

Hi Penelope! I too use the Browser That Shall Not Be Named. Maybe if you use feedburner or bloglines for an RSS feed… ? I’d LOVE for you to stalk me!

I loved this! Hilarious!
Monty, I’ve been trying to read your blog for ages but every time I click through it crashes my browser (yes I use the one that won’t be mentioned) – any ideas??
How can I stalk you if I can’t get there? ;o)

I’m so with you on the funeral! Although I hadn’t thought of the presents thing. And I know only 1 minister. If he’s around he can talk all he wants because he’s hilarious. If he’s not then I don’t want one.

Great post! I liked the quilting analogy, and those are some funny lists and requirements.

Priests: at one funeral, the priests were doing the 25 Hail Mary prayers in a row, and after 6-7 I leaned over to my friend and whispered: They’re priests, don’t they know any other prayers? Thankfully, people thought we were crying not laughing so herd we were crying.

Funeral requests: My grandfather put in his will that he was to be seated in is favorite chair with a cigar and a beer while the family ate and chat all around him. I still think we should have done it. I suspect my grandfather was a little crazy.
