I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Rental coffins. Or caskets? What's the difference between a casket and a coffin?

Remember, a funeral and/or celebrations after death are for the living. Consider the needs of those you leave behind. Some people need to view a body to accept the reality of a death...others would not need that. Cremation is just substitution for earth burial. So, if you think your family does not need to view you and you do not want to be viewed, you need to say "I want to be cremated with no viewing" or "I want to be cremated after viewing" or "I want to be shown in a rental casket or cremation casket and then cremated." Basically, be specific because otherwise you won't get what you want!)

You don't like me, do you?
Okay, easy question first: how'd you decide to go into mortuaryishness? (I assume that's the technical term). Or maybe since you're second generation, I should ask how your mom or dad went into it? Now a better but open-ended question: tell us some cool stories. You must have some great stories. Some strange things must happen in your line of work.
Wow that is just opening yourself up

As a teaser, I had voices coming from a casket during a Catholic Mass once...

Answer to 2nd question: I've got some good ones. I will think about which ones to share and post soon...with names changed to protect the innocent. As a teaser, I had voices coming from a casket during a Catholic Mass once...
I look forward to the stories. If any are particularly inappropriate, you can always post them here: http://runningahead.com/groups/2000/Forum

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
Why? Someone is likely to drive by you and probably faster than someone jogging through. Is someone driving by even more disrespectful than someone jogging by?
