We had an appointment at the funeral home today. Good news, we did not see hide nor hair of the lady I spoke with on the phone. Lucky for her.
It was pretty much uneventful. I mean, the guy was very obviously stumbling through everything because he was uncomfortable but at least he didn’t say anything incredibly stupid. Well, maybe he did. He had spoken with the general manager about opening Felix’s grave to put the boys in there together and got approval for that. But we had already purchased a plot for Gabriel and upon mentioning that he said that we could just save it for someone else. WHAT?! I really hope we don’t EVER have the need for another grave! After I told him that he said we could use it for mom or dad or donate it to someone. Okay, the donating makes sense. Keeping one grave for one of our parents does not since both of our parents are still married to each other. (What do you suggest we do, have a drawing?) I am really trying to believe that he was so taken aback by our situation that he just had no idea what was coming out of his mouth.
I’m not sure if I was playing Egyptian (floating in DENIAL) or if it was true peace but the whole time we were there I just felt like “Thanks for the info but we’re not going to need it.” It was nice to be far from emotional this time around.
That being said I feel good about having all of the paperwork and decisions made now just in case we do need it. All we have to do is make a phone call and they can take care of the rest.
Here’s hoping we don’t need to make the call!
