Heading out to the funeral in about an hour. I haven't been to one in several years. I don't expect to spend much time there, either, long enough to visit with his wife, watch the ceremony and then leave. His wife will be surrounded by family and I am not going to interfere with that. The thing is really just his ashes being brought to the cemetary and put into whatever they call those shelters for ashes. He didn't want to be "spread out" anywhere, instead, his wife expects one day to be beside him in the form of a urn filled with her ashes.
Gruesome, I guess, but death is a real part of our lives. I am glad that I don't have to do this very often, I can say that.
Anyway, I'm getting my clothes ready and such, so, I'm outta here.
