Tell David he's funny even in a crisis. So glad you know what happened. Prayer works!

Dianne, I'm late to this, but read with relief that he had been found. David's too funny.

Here's a similar sad story:

My SIL's mother died in Arizona. She was there and brought her ashes back to Baltimore for her memorial service. On the plane ride home she realized there was a DIFFERENT name on the box. Can you believe it?

When she called to inquire, they said they'd put it in the wrong box.
[Roll Eyes] [Confused]

She'll never know for sure.

What's up with the people who work in that business?

Dianne, I'm both sorry and relieved for you and your husband. I wish the funeral industry was more compassionate. Maybe after a while they become jaded and are no longer able to empathise with the ones who are left behind.

Maybe they lose sight of the fact that they are handling precious human life.

I'm happy you and your husband were able to lay him to rest with dignity and even humor.

Dotsie, your friend didn't use Chapel of the Chimes, did she? LOL! That's who caused this big mess.

My husband has the best sense of humor. He has a very dry wit. By the time this fiasco was finished, he had me laughing so hard I had tears rolling down my face! [Big Grin]

Boy with those kind of mix ups, I think I'll drive a block or two around any Chapel of the Chimes I ever pass. With that kind of quality control, no telling what might happen. [Smile]

Glad things are finally coming together for your FIL.

I am so glad this worked out,Dianne. Don't you just love dry wit?

My Mom never dyed her hair in her whole lifetime, something she was quite proud of. They decided to give her a((( makeover)))? at the funeral home. When I inquired as to why, they said to make her look like her pic. A rinse right? Take it out!
Nope, Permanent.
We left it alone because Mom wouldn't have wanted any big fuss made...or would she? A difficult time to make decisions as it is and thenthey throw this at you.

They put a color rinse in her hair, you have got to be kidding? I would have raised the dam roof of that joint and I mean raised the roof. How dare they alter her appearance at a time like that? You dear lady have more will power and patience than me... [Mad]

Dianna,

I just got back and read your sad tale after being away for a week. I'm sorry this had to happen, but glad that you were able to resolve it.

What a horrible experience for you to have gone through, at a time that's so stressful to begin with.

Thanks Jackie. I'm just hoping it was HIS ashes! I know my husband is thinking that too but we don't talk about it.
