Inspired by the  OLWG#417 prompt- the sound of the sunset

Back when I was a young woman- I worked in a funeral home.

One of my jobs was to driver the casket to the gravesite.

I would dress black or tan, I would tie my hair back, I tried to blend into the background and then I would load the casket  into the back of the hearse and drive it to the grave for services.

But here is a little detail that will always stay with me-

when I would slide the coffin into the hearse, the little runners that the coffin rolled upon  jingled and as they  jingled they sounded exactly like sleigh bells.

So if you were to ask me- and today in this prompt you did- ” What does sunset sound like “

I would have to say it sounds like sleigh bells.
