Freaky Friday

February 9, 2008 urngarden.com

vintage valentine

What a week! And Friday topped it!

I had an appointment with a local client who wanted to see some items for her pet. On the way to the meeting, the phone rang and a friend of the client introduced herself as “J” and stated that she would be acting as a representative for the client. Long story short: the client had passed away the night before. She was 46.

Well, that was kind of odd.

Frankly I was a wee bit nervous, the client had special ordered several styles of our pet urns.

J was only interested in one item.

The day before she died, client told J about our meeting and how special the necklace was and that when she died she could be buried with her “baby” close to her heart.

J found my number on her friend’s cell phone noted as “urn lady”.

Next: We pack up the urn for my grandmother.

Blue Cremation Urn

Dad sat in my living area used the laptop to pick out the urn.

Very courageous. As a retired firefighter from one of the busiest firehouses in the nation, he’s not exactly an advocate of cremation.In the car on the way to lunch, I asked my dad how he would eulogize his mother.

Silence.

Music UP: “I Did It My Way”.

    What a story.

    Maybe thats why my father-in-law cancelled the appointment my MIL had with the funeral home about preplanning.

    My condolences on the loss of your grandmother. Did you really mean “pack”?
