Noah: Nearer My God To Thee

re: Funeral home moves near Lake City Senior Center


Noah Kroese/Special to Huckleberries Online

I think it's great. Imagine having a wake at the Senior Center, then moving the casket with a slight shove toward the funeral home. Of course, you'd have to have something on hand at the funeral home, like Robitusin, so you could stop that coughin', I mean coffin. I loved that the crematorium has an afterburner. An afterburner to send us off to the afterlife. Doesn't seem like such a grave undertaking after all.
