Death
« Previous Entries Next Entries »Heal Thyself
Monday, April 14th, 2008So last week I visited the doctor. The Good Doctor knows I don’t come around much; only when needed, and I NEEDED a physical. I pride myself on staying out of the health care system, but I don’t want to be a Melton Medical Mystery either!
A new computer system had been in place for […]
Hummers
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008No not this kind.
St. Louis hotel 2005.
This Kind:
We’ve been successful attracting the hummingbirds and butterflies the last couple of years. Even with the hunters next door! According to the calender, the hummingbird scouts should be coming in the next week or so. So, why do I feel pressure?
Funeral Directors, depending on where you are…if you […]
Brush With Greatness
Sunday, March 30th, 2008Last month I had the television on and in the background was a documentary on the boxer, Joe Louis. I snapped to attention at the mention of Louis’ attorney, Truman K. Gibson Jr. Honestly, I’m sad to say that I’d never heard of Gibson, until 2006, when his grand daughter called from D.C. to […]

Protector of the Gold
Friday, March 14th, 2008Today a family called looking for an urn with the image of a griffin. I love the idea of this ancient symbol of protection on a cremation urn.
We’ve got a couple of griffins out in the garden. The legendary Griffin symbol is a fascinating creature with the body of a lion and […]

Hillbilly Funeral
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008More death and burial folklore from famous hillbilly folklorist Vance Randolph:
Time Stops: When a death finally occurs, one of the bereaved neighbors rises immediately and stops the clock. Everybody knows that if the clock should happen to stop of itself while a corpse is lying in the house, another member of the family would die […]
Full Bird
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008Most of the time, the calls we field are families in distress, and occasionally, like any business, you get the odd bird. The Colonial, for instance.
This gentleman insisted that I address him by his “first” name “The Colonial”, and he had questions.
I had answers.
Next, we moved to his favorite topic. HIZ SELF and […]
