This summer, my mom passed away in her 90’s. She was cremated and we had a small family graveside service at a small cemetery in the boonies in Kansas (think scene from “Our Town”) a couple of hours after the main memorial service. We drove out seperately and I was driving with my middle son Eric (some of you have met him) when the hearse passes us. He says “she was cremated, why are they using a hearse?” I responded, “that’s how they roll. Were you expecting a Vette?”
After the service, I related this story to the funeral home guy and he said that he had done some in Vettes and I thought....hmm, maybe one last ride in Natalie specified in my will with some aggressive driving stipulated :-).
