Not the call I was wanting... 
I guess since Walmart now carries caskets, they are having to beat the bushes to find victims? clients? what would one call it? |
See Walmart "customer" service department: Bored to death complaints.
(I guess?)
Other than a few funny lines, some sad stories - this thread is SPOOKY to me.
I do NOT want preservatives pumped into me. That seems insane to me and oh, so non-organic!! (Delaying the natural "process".) And I know how the blood draining is done and the doll dress up stuff. ICK!!! Shudder!
Part of my hospice training was to go into the bowels of a funeral home and see the "goings on". Well, not an actual... the equipment and full explanation.
I want cremated, but am
deathly afraid of fires. (Seriously, now folks.) What if I am not dead? And the fire seems MUCH too hot.
So, I would have to have a "quickie" funeral. I think by law without the embalming, for obvious reasons you must "move" quickly with the service - if you are having one. Maybe just a memorial (?)
I did LOVE "Six Feet Under". That was a great show. I am NOT a fan of death and dying though.
Well, on that note: Everyone have a very lovely day. No slipping on the ice! (That is what killed the Atkins Diet guy!) Hmmmm, don't recall that as a death on my Six Feet show - come to think of it.
