Soldiers

I am sorry, but I will have to poke in the eye, the next person who say's 'Ooooh that looks nasty' pointing to my Cold sore.

It is.

It hurts.

It ain't going.

I had to be DJ in the chapel again today. 2 Hymns played through an MP3 player and a fade out before the third verses kicked in. No pressure then?

I know a few vocalists who do not listen to the music and just sing away, In this case, the congregation was a line ahead of the music? I have no singing voice but I had to take over at a Fortissimo shout to get them all back on course.

The Vicar thanked me!! (I can't spend that?)

Do not read on if you are easily disturbed.

Again I reiterate my feelings about dressing bodies in suits and dresses.

Again I say it is no problem , if for burial, or it was the persons last wish.

A few weeks ago we were tasked with dressing a lady in Pants, Corset, tights, bra, slip, blouse ,skirt.and High Heels??

The blouse was white.

No matter how careful we are and how much wadding we use it can sometimes be pretty gross.

The person had a lot of cannula's in which had to be removed and bled when we had to lift her to get the top clothing on.

She also purged (was sick) all over the front.

Liquid leaked from her ears onto the pristine white top.

To make matters worse, it was a Cremation and we are starting to see more letters about the impact on the environment with burning man made materials.

Dignified?

I think not.

Please consider your own last wishes and make them known.

Some people feel they have not done enough in life for a person and try and make up for it in Death. It's to late. Do the nice things now?

For some unknown reason. The nice ladies at the Mortuary did not want to kiss me this morning.

I can't think why.
