I don’t think it matters what kind of box they put you in

when it’s your time to go-

not if there isn’t someone to take care of your sleeping bones 

and the place you now call home.

The Question

#100DAYSOFHALLOWEENHAPPY #20

Photographer Uknown

It was a straightforward question and it deserved a straight forward answer.

The elderly lady who was choosing a coffin from a catalog asked me, ‘ Are the pillows that come with these coffins soft? Or are they firm? Would you say they are comfortable? ”

I was a Funeral Director and my calling, on that day was to help this lady and her husband.

I looked at the model she had her finger on. and I looked at it. Then I looked at her.

” Those pillows are decorative. I would not call them comfortable. ”

” For that price, they should be. Well. I’ll bring his favorite from home. Is that okay? ”

I told her it was perfectly fine,

because it was.
