My Boss and his missus have a cleaner who owns an Horse (not a joke) The horse hates going in the stable in Winter, so she has to put a sedative in it's feed to cut it's anxiety levels down. Trouble is, a neighbour came to visit with his dog. The dog eats everything and anything and he saw the feed and helped itself. The dog has been laying with its legs in the air for the past 2 days...sound asleep! Apparently the vet says he will be fine and well rested?
A chap was convinced, that the space under the Hearse was to put another coffin if we were running late????? His mind was put at rest as under the hearse we carry a trolley for wheeling heavy bodies and we sometimes put flowers under there and sometimes my sandwiches!!!
I did bury 3 bodies in an hour once though and all in one run, using the Hearse and a private ambulance. They were environmental Funerals. People who had no friends or family (at least, none that wanted to come forward and pay for a proper Funeral. Of course if there had been a will they would have flocked around) A minister was present at each, but it was very sad.
Dear Glenn, I gave my husband an environmental funeral because I am Wiccan and that is part of my ethic. He was buried in a woodland site in a bamboo coffin. Not all funerals of that type are because people have no friends or family, we take great peace from the site and its evey changing beauty over the seasons. Tracey K-K
ReplyDeleteHi Tracey. There might be some confusion with enviromental funeral and enviromently friendly funeral as you had. they are both completely different, The first is when the enviromental heath department get involved as the deceased has no known relatives and yours would be a 'green' service held in church and buried in natural surroundings in a natural made coffin with all loved ones around.. Hope this clears up the confusion and thanks for posting. Regards Glenn
