My lovely old chum Natalie went to a funeral yesterday.
At the Crematorium at the end of the service comes the part where the coffin mechanically slides on the rollers and through the curtain – your last sight of the deceased, heading for the After Life.
A ‘departure’ song / music, chosen by the remaining partner usually, accompanies the Final Exit.
Well there was a evidently a cock up, as the classical music piece suddenly changed to ‘ Show me the Way to Amarillo ‘
The daughter of the deceased burst into tears whilst there was a desperate scrabble to turn the music off…
I mean that’s the stuff of urban legends that ought be told for decades.
Natalie, in between trying to remain sombre, obviously started giggling.
You literally can’t make it up.
