Inspired by: FOWC With Fandango — Version

I used to work in a crematorium- not as fancy looking as the Bradford Crematorium- but I can tell you what could be behind the wall in this picture.

 I’m sure that room I worked in exists in all crematoriums,  but in different versions of course.

Besides the obvious and less decorative machinery  involved in this process, at the Crematorium I worked in there was an easy chair for you to sit on ( or a bars tool at the work table ) and next to the chair was a little shelf stock with Stephen King paperback novels and Archie comic books.

Down the little hallways was a room where we kept the unclaimed cremains on sturdy metal shelves (  some of them in very fancy urns, some in plain and dignified urns.)

Behind that room was a place where, stored in plastic totes- were the toys that we collected from graves after they had been there for awhile and the elements were beginning to take their toll on them.

And now you have an idea- what was behind this wall- and what you could find if you ever have the chance to peek behind one yourself.
