Memento Mori

Just back from Terry Conway's funeral.
Saw a lot of loved and familiar old faces - sadly getting older every time I see them.
NOW HERE THIS
No more of my friends (or relations) are allowed to die for at least twelve months.
I've had my three deaths this year and that is most definitely enough.

By order of me ...

... and I'd prefer it if none of you got ill either

Strawangel  Warn them that you will beat them within an inch of their life if they do 😀

Bentonbag  Yes "If you die don't come running to me about it"
Ms Exlibris  Ok I'll do as I'm told for once!
Drummerman - Bentonbag:  This applies to you, too.
Ms Telyn  Indeed!xx
Darklady  You tell 'em!

When someone dies disposing of their property and estate is relatively straightforward.  The body, ashes and urn are a different matter.  We kept Fester's brother Stephen's ashes on a shelf in the wardrobe until they could be disposed of appropriately. 
A year after the funeral rapper sword dance and many other friends gathered to scatter them outside one of his favourite pubs.  This was a few days later.

"I don't know what to do with Uncle Stephen’s empty urn" I said to Thunderthighs at teatime.
"Put your cash in it" he suggested.
Now I know Fester stores change in random containers on the kitchen table (last time we counted and bagged £247) but it seems a bit disrespectful.
Strawangel  It's not x
Squireen   Steve would appreciate it
StBernard  Especially if it's beer money ðŸ˜€
Darklady  Steve is at The Cumberland.  He would be glad you're putting his urn to such good use.  Can't you see him smiling at the whimsy of it all? X

  1. I hope you are saving change in his urn but, it should be used as beer money 😀

  2. Definitely. Would that class it as money for looking at then...
