On Wednesday we had to take a coffin home which turned out to be quite difficult to get up the steps and around the door frame but we managed it as dignified as we could. Yesterday we had to fetch it out again and all went well until coming down the steps. One of our chaps who is only about 3 foot tall slipped and fell in the bushes. We told him that his ambition to be a Garden Gnome would have to wait and to get up and carry the coffin.
We were talking about the strangest things put into a coffin. I know of a sewing machine that went in as it was down the end I was carrying. But also a Computer has been interred with the deceased and more interestingly a Trombone??? Now when I am cremated I may have my ashes sealed in my bone and have that buried, and the way I feel with these new tablets it may not be long cos I ache all over.
