A Really Good Day

Today turned out to be much more spectacular than I thought it would. My duty for today was to take a family to the National Cemetery to bury cremated remains. It was my understanding they were to ride in the limousine, but when I get to work I see a note on the board that says they will follow me. So I'm thinking that they are going to drive themselves and just follow me up there.

Well, it turns out they did use the limo, plus they had three or four cars following, plus they had other friends and family meeting them there. The widow was quite chatty in the car and really very pleasant to talk to, sitting beside me in the front seat. The family was really nice and the ceremony went very well. We hit the road to come back and as soon as we got on the interstate they asked me if I could take them to a restaurant for lunch. They were halfway joking, thinking I had to go right back to the funeral home. I told them I was at there disposal, so we went to lunch! I got a free meal and a tip when we got back to the funeral home.
