When An Undertaker Says ‘ Hello Again ‘

[Bobbisox1]

You know your card is marked :0(
Am I being measured up?

I was waiting for a bus in Sheffield (about 45 years ago) when a funeral director in a hearse stopped to offer me a lift into the city centre. It did occur to me then that he might be touting for business ;-)

[Barsel]

I bet you replied, 'Hello, is it me you're looking for?'

[Bobbisox1]

Me and this particular undertaker are now on first term names Chris :0(

[Barsel]

^^^That was for Bobbs.

[Bobbisox1]

No Barsel I replied ,Well at least I’m coming out ;0))

One of the town's undertakers has been a lifelong family friend and has buried most of my dead rellies - mum, dad, 3 aunts, 2 uncles, a couple of cousins. He does greet me whenever our paths cross but, ever the professional, if he is passing in a 'laden' hearse, he ignores me. I have 'invited' him to my funeral :-)

One local undertaker was my best friend’s boyfriend, years ago. He won’t get asked by me to bury any of my family.

[Bobbisox1]

It’s a known fact you attend more funerals when you get my age, only I’d rather he hadn’t eyed me up , haha

[Arksided]

So long as he wasn't carrying a Scythe you're still fine.

[Bobbisox1]

No but he did have his top hat on ;0(

I avoid funerals now whenever possible. I don't intend to have one either. A hole in the garden will do. My family have been instructed, but I suppose it's up to them.

[Arksided]

oh no... oh dear... bless you my child.

[Bobbisox1]

Well I’m having me Wake before I go, so there !!

[Arksided]

That's a great plan... good thinking Bobbi :-)
