Thought you folks might like to think of this possibility.
Thought you folks might like to think of this possibility.
There was a man who had worked all of his life and had saved all of his money. He was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife, "Now listen, when I die, I want you to take all my coins and money and place it in the casket with me. I wanna take my money to the afterlife." So he got his wife to promise him with all her heart that when he died, she would put all the money in the casket with him. Well, one day he died. He was stretched out in the casket, the wife was sitting there in black next to her closest friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said "Wait just a minute!" She had a shoe box with her, she came over with the box and placed it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away. Her friend said, "I hope you weren't crazy enough to put all that money in the casket." She said, "Yes, I promised. I'm a good Christian, I can't lie. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him." "You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?" "I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote him a cheque." |

People have actually been buried with their money My wife and I placed a 2003 Silver Eagle in her mother's casket. I also gave my wife a 1935 (her Mother's birth year) Walking Liberty half to carry in her purse. It was just something I thought of on the spur of the moment but my wife was rather moved by it...and she has no interest in coins other than my interest. -- Stu Miller Coins in the News - Coin Newspaper (Updated Daily): http://www.TheStujoeCollection.com/news.htm |

Some years ago,when I was a kid,a man that was a gravedigger lived next door,and he died in his sleep.When the family cleaned out the house,they found loads of valuables-taken from the caskets he buried.Its really sad and morbid,but you may want to consider not being buried with anything of any real value. phil People who work in morgues and in funeral homes have been known to steal rings and other jewelry from the dead bodies when nobody is looking. It is a very low and sick thing to do. |
