[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 964559, member: 12570"] moreluck has a good point. When my father (not my Dad) passed away, my brother and I were tasked with writing his obituary. We relied heavily on our grandmother for details. Thankfully there was no probate as his assets had been protected and subsequently divided shortly after he entered the nursing home as we all knew he would never leave. Cremation and a simple ceremony. We then gathered for a traditional New England chicken and shells (pasta) dinner. This is kind of a segway but it is something that I feel good for having done. Last week I was approaching one of the more busy intersections on my route and noticed a funeral procession approaching from the opposite direction. The procession had two limos and about 10-15 cars in it. They were turning left at the intersection and I knew that the entire procession would not make it through the green light so I put my 4-ways on and centered my vehicle in the two travel lanes to ensure the procession could proceed unimpeded. The funeral home is on my route (the owner's son and mine were high school classmates) and he told me later that he really appreciated what I had done. [/QUOTE]
