Mom’s corpse is my co-pilot

How do you disturb a dead persons peace? Will they complain if you do?

I read that today too, Reyn! I actually feel really sorry for the lady who just wanted to take mom home to be buried. Kind of ired me that the mortuary tipped off the police.....

Like xingu said....is dead mom really going to complain?

I can not believe that is actually a crime.

that is utter bullsh/t

good grief, that poor woman

Please. She should have put the corpse in the trunk like everybody else.

That made me laugh out loud.

Are you sure you're not NickFun? Seems like a helpful suggestion that he would come up with.

I am but an honest blacksmithn, good and true.

I read about this the other day on Reuter's. It certainly is a novel way to save money. I'm not sure what to think about it, though.

Personally, I would've strapped her into the passenger seat, so I could ride in the carpool lane.

Now that's thinking "outside the box"!

You're going places dude!

Yep, at 80mph in the carpool lane!

It's all part and parcel of the scam.

Many years ago now, a friend of mine was living in Texas just barely getting by on his good looks and his lack of ambition when his elderly mother came down from Ohio, or some place back East, I don't remember, for a visit.

Well,,, shucks, she died.

What was Woody, yes, that was his name, supposed to do? He had nothing. His mother's 'estate' was going to be held up in probate for a year or so and amounted to next to nothing. Woody's first thought was to take he back to Ohio, but the mortuary wanted $3000.00 just for the transportation. (This is in 1968, you could have flown the old gal to Paris for $3000.00 and I don't mean Paris, Texas.)

Well, he ended up getting some money together and he buried his mom right there in the middle of the Lone Star State.


I don't know what happened after that. I know he felt he couldn't leave her there and that he would have to stay in Texas until he had some means to take her home.

I hope he did.

Joe(Hey, Woody)Nation

I find it strange, people are charged so much MORE money to transport the dead, then they are charged to sometimes buy a car.

3000 for a plane ride?
and she wouldnt even get a good seat?

>sigh<

Most morgues simply cover or bag the body and lay it in the back of a big empty cargo van.
At least , up front , strapped into the seat, they can enjoy the AC..

I'm going to sit down and fill out a Parent Permission slip, so that after I die my son can make any funeral arrangements that satisfy his soul.

I'm going to request being driven around for a while in my child's car.

Hey, strap my body over the fender like a dead deer. What'll I care?

I've always wanted to be an astronaut.. .After I'm dead, shoot me to the moon.

Tie me to the back bumper so I can imitate Indiana Jones.
