I Remember

Several years ago I remember attending a funeral at the local church. There was a very large crowd that attended, so some of us ladies sat in the choir loft behind the minister.

After the service ended the body was being viewed for the last time as was the custom. We began to go down the choir steps, with the help of the funeral director, who stood at the bottom of the steps. My sister-in-law was behind me. She missed a step, fell into me and pushed me right into the arms of the funeral director.

If he hadn’t been there I would have fallen flat on my face. I was so embarrassed I slipped out the side door without even viewing the body.

After we arrived at the cemetery, for the burial, there were two women talking and not paying attention to where they were walking.

One of them caught her foot under the artificial grass that covers the pile of dirt left after digging the grave. They both almost fell in the grave. The funeral director came over to make sure they were both OK. I’ll bet he wondered what was going to happen next.
