Sorry to hear of your Mum Mark.
Heres a strange story regarding customers and death etc.
As some of you know my Mum died earlier this year. I was talking to one of my custys about it a short while after and he told me that his wife was dying of cancer (which is what my Mum died from).
Anyway, time passed by and eventually this custys wife died. The next visit I went round to do the windows things had obviously changed around the house etc and so I asked him how things were and he confirmed she had died. He was talking in detail about his life with her how they had coped with the years of her illness and how things had been since she died.
It seems the two of them travelled a lot together in their earlier years, apparently round the globe on more than one occassion, mostly in a Volvo car of one description or another; he reckoned theyd clocked up close on a million miles together in Volvos.
Anyway as this had been their mode of transport after she died he phoned the undertakers and asked them if it would be okay and legal to take his wife to the crematorium in her coffin in the back of his Volvo
They duly confirmed it would be okay and that is how she went to her cremation.
The palbearers in a hearse all to themselves
Fabulous, just fabulous. Even in death it helps so much to be able to see the funny side of things, thats why we had Morecambe and Wise played at my Mums cremation in March. She loved those two on a Saturday night in the 70s on the BBC.
