ReplyDeleteThere's often lots of "lively" conversation in funeral cars. I drove for three years for one of the largest funeral homes in SK. Unfortunately, one of the oft repeated conversations was the Pastor asking the funeral director, "So if you were to die today what would you say to God to let you into His heaven?"

ReplyDeleteReally?!?
That explains a lot.
They seem to "like" me, at least in the funeral home biz here in P.A.
I usually ask how their family is doin, and where they are going for holidays this year.
Can't think of more of a conversation stopper. Especially with these guys. They are around death all the time, they even hear me preach alot, so they will know more than the average person. Probably even thought more about death than the average person.
Course I've seen their underbelly and not flinched either. One time we were driving to the graveside and it appeared the hole hadn't even been dug. The funeral director who was driving my car started and descended into a total meltdown as he franticly called the holediggers, while leading the procession around the graveyard.
We've had a "Deeper" relationship ever since.
Now that iiss funny!
