The Funeral...............

I was just reading Blessed Beyond Measure's posting about planning your funeral and that you should be able to have it like you want it.

This reminds me of a true story that happened at a Funeral Home where a friend of ours worked.

A lady passed away (well, naturally she would have or the family wouldn't have been there in the first place) and her family came in to make the arrangements. They were a redneck family from the word go. The husband wanted to have a square dance the night of the visitation "cause that's what Mama would have wanted," but the funeral director said, "no." He did agree to play soft country music. She was to be dressed in a certain manner, "cause that's what Mama would have wanted."

The day of the funeral Mama was carried in to the tune of "Hello Darling" and she was carried out to "He Stopped Loving Her Today"..............................
