Getting an annual physical at the doctors

[Jstpssng]

I used to work with a guy whose wife was a beautician and she did lots of funeral home work. She said it gave her a good feeling to know she was helping a family in a time of stress.

I knew a woman who used to go to nursing homes to do the resident's hair. Again, looking out for the living.

No complaints but no tips either...

No shortage of clients, either.

On that note, when my mom passed, the funeral home called and asked us how they wanted them to curl my mom's hair.... NOOOOOOoooooo!!!!

Mom always wore her hair straight.

They really should have asked for pictures to faithfully put her together.

My vote is you go out of this world the way you came into this world, without clothes

Thing is, the body is nothing more than a shell of our former selves.

Honestly, if I wasn't being cremated, forgoing the "without clothes" option, I'd go out with a bang dressed as a clown with the big shoes and all.

Mine would have to be closed casket, then. Wouldn't want to upset folks.

That's true. Mom told us that after she died, she didn't want us weeping at the cemetery because she wouldn't be there.

So I take some flowers in the spring once a year and that's about it.
