Viking funerals are the best ! Recently an icon in the community here passed away,he was a jeweler ( an old time genuine gemologist,not a mall jewelry hawker)and was lavishly and flamboyantly gay.He wore full length fur coats,diamond rings the size of Rhode Island,carried a little pomeranion,and above all loved Broadway and made frequent trips to New York City to the shows.His funeral was covered in the paper here,he was laid out in his fur coat and buried in it,they had a pianist playing show tunes at the service,and when the pallbearers carried him out of the church the pianist played " There's No Business Like Show Business ",the mourners all stood and gave him a standing ovation as the casket passed by.Now *thats * a proper funeral :)
