An old lady is very upset as her husband Albert had just passed away.
She went to the mortuary to look at her dearly departed & the instant she saw him she starts crying.
One of the attendants rushes up to comfort her.
Through her tears she explains that she was upset because Albert was wearing a black suit and that it was his dying wish to be buried in a blue suit.
The attendant apologises and explains that they always put the bodies in a black suit as a matter of course but he’d see what he could do.
The next day she returns to the mortuary to have one last moment with Albert before his funeral the following day. When the attendant pulls back the curtain, she manages to smile through her tears as Albert is now wearing a smart blue suit.
She asks the attendant “How did you manage to get hold of that beautiful blue suit?” “Well, yesterday afternoon after you left, a man about your husband’s size was brought in & he was wearing a blue suit.
His wife explained that she was very upset as he had always wanted to be buried in a black suit, after that, it was simply a matter of swapping the heads”
I can’t vouch for the accuracy of these but I laughed anyway.
