#46475 - 02/21/06 07:44 PM A single elderly woman's last wish
Songbird Member Registered: 06/03/04 Posts: 2830 Loc: Massachusetts, USA	An elderly woman died last month. Having never married, she requested no male pallbearers. In her handwritten instructions for her memorial service, she wrote, "They wouldn't take me out while I was alive, I don't want them to take me out when I'm dead”. I wonder if her wish came true or not .

Daisygirl Member Registered: 08/25/05 Posts: 1052 Loc: Ohio	Most of us single women do long for male companionship, but we're not willing to settle on weirdos and sociopaths. However, there are men in my life that I love, such as my son and brother-in-law. Gee, only 2? How many pall-bearers do I need? Daisygirl

chickadee Member Registered: 09/26/04 Posts: 3910 Loc: Alabama	I'm curious Chatty. Why two? I am being cremated also. My other half and I have an agreement...whoever goes first gets to lug the other around until the other goes. Hmmm...it sounded real romantic when we discussed it a few years ago. My only hope is that IF he goes first, AND my memory doesn't get any worse, we'll end up in a little plot in Tennessee. Maybe I need to include, "I can't promise ya anything, Honey," to the agreement. chick

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Chickadee I suppose one carrier would suffice but my being a bigger woman, it might take a bigger box of remains needing to be carried...Not being disrespectful just being silly which is my normal persona....My sister was creamated and I carried the urn myself....
