Makes me think of this comedian I’ve seen —- In one of his jokes he talks about how people go up to the casket and say how so n so looks good —He said hell no I want to look dead — I want people to come up and gag — say man what’s that smell ——
I wasn't thinking negatively. My father bought the lots for his whole family when he was terminal 20+ years ago. Then 10 years ago my best friend passed away and she was put in one of the lots. So I had a double headstone made to match my parents. Also, I had a 1500 pound 4 ft. granite statue custom made for her that was placed between our stone and my parents. Best statue in any cemetery for miles around.
It was the first piece of real estate I ever purchased. Three slots over from my Dad, right after he passed. My Mom and sister bought the other two.
I was back home for 19 days earlier this year b/c of a family health emergency. While there, I had a chance to explore the cemetery. I found over 60 direct relatives including all of my Grandfathers going back to the first one that immigrated in 1846. Kinda cool actually.
My parents are from a little town called Hessmer, La.—— At the Catholic Church / Cemetery there’s four generations of my father’s family and 3 generations of my mothers buried there —- all siblings etc ———- I’ll never forget at my dad’s funeral the priest said — He was Baptized in this church — Married in this church and now Buried in this church
Right up the road about 5 miles — Bunkie talk about a town that rolls the sidewalk up Saturday at noon —- I hadn’t been that way in around 20+ years — when my dad passed away in 07 was my first time back — other than a few big homes built on the highway was just like I remembered
Have the conditions (percentage of oblivious crash causing morons) increased in the last 18 months? Seems that way to me, but I haven’t been driving much (and as a result I am a poorer driver).
