Asking questions

Before the end of the day I took some time to step out into the hall and talk to the funeral director. I asked questions that a child might have asked at their first wake. The fellow talked about the issues they take care of - even as simple as making sure the walkways are clear of ice and snow. Essentially, if they do their job, then the family won't notice any other issues that day and will simply have the memory of the gathering for which they've come together.
