The people that own the funeral home were personal friends of ours and they were DYIN'. Then exactly one week later a young man from our church died. Funeral was at the church and we basically (at the request of the deceased) had church! We still laugh about that "funeral week"!

You have to wonder about the things that people in the funeral business see!! I was watching the funeral directors face at the cemetery and his face was just completely immobile, staring into the distance!! I know he had to dying on the inside! I couldn't help thinking about what I would be feeling if I had come to visit my loved ones grave right then, what I would have felt hearing that!
