Re: Funeral Costs

We once had the stub axle of the hearse break just before the long downhill to the cream at Rise Grove.
My father told us to carry on with the mourners while he sorted it out.
Ten minutes later the drivers were stood around outside with the mourners sat inside the Crem.
Suddenly a big Ford Estate car came round the bend. The coffin was in the back with a bit hanging out. The undertaker was sat alongside it with his black coat covering it.
We got it out and as we were carrying it in the vicar who was leading turned and said "I bet he's never been as fast as that in his life".
We had to walk down the aisle carrying the coffin with that silly face you make trying not to laugh. We pulled it off though and everything went according to plan.
