Same here. Somebody as neurotic as Monk is one step away from the funny farm, and it's sometimes painful, rather than funny, to watch.
I find some of the gimmicks the bad guys use to be ingenious, as are Monk's solutions. But some are howlingly wrong. As in the wp where the guy shot his wife, but the empty brass wound up falling into a pie she was baking.
Monk solved the case by saying, "X was in the military at one time, so he's allowed to own a handgun". WRONG, even in California. "And the police have samples of his fired brass." WRONG, in the real world. You can compare suspect cases against known samples, but there is no classification and retrieval system possible. It exists only in the fantsy world of the liberal mind.
If'n you start buryin' people, you'll need some insurance.

Cool!
I'm just astounded that you don't actually even have to have a casket at ALL! I guess if you can transport someone to the burial plot in a blanket, you can just bury them that way!
For some reason that just astounds me. Don't know why...that's how they did it in Lonesome Dove.
I gotta finish checking it at home...but it LOOKS very impressive.
Any news yet?
It's dead Jim. Better call 2J's mortuary service.
What the...
But the quote is from the first episode...Lister is walking through the ship, tasting all these little white piles of dust, and the ships computer is talking to him, apparently having a hard time convincing Lister that he is the only human left in the universe.
"Red Dwarf"! :)
you like red dwarf? :D :D
When I was in high school my friends and I did a comedy video inspired by "Red Dwarf" :)
Oookay...
I've heard of Red Dwarf, but haven't seen it, though I've seen more goofy British comedies than just about anyone else I know...
Used to watch BBC all the time when I was overseas.
Mr Flibble is VERY cross.
I haven't seen those, LOL! I used to watch a few BBC comedies the showed on public TV, as well as of course "Dr. Who".
I'm wondering if I couldn't do something along that line, except doing a "home funeral" type thing. Now don't scoff...think about it...
I actually also have an interest in funerals done better... I've had a lot of experience with death and dying, and I've seen and been more satisfied with some of it than other parts. I understand the desire, I think.
I came upon this thinking that if anything ever happened to one of my loved ones, I wouldn't want to have one of the traditional type of funerals...I sure wouldn't want them embalmed...
State and local regs on embalming are everything... As well as requirements of the cemeteries. There is an allowance to bury unembalmed bodies, I think traditional Jewish funerals there is no fancy casket and no embalming, but the burial must take place ~right away~.
..and I wouldn't want them placed in a casket that's fancier and almost as expensive as a car! I think a simple wooden box with a nice comforter in it would be just fine.
Again, I agree with you on the cost of caskets, and also the room they take up. Some cemeteries and some local restrictions will require a concrete liner depending on the local situation. All those things add to the costs. The cemetery my family is at/will go to, they are more relaxed than most. I think cremation is the way to go. No embalming, and burial or dispersal of ashes is not regulated ~really~. We buried the urn under a marker, unlined and we could and did enjoy doing that ourselves.
And I'd want them at home until they are buried. No stranger flipping them around and such. Just me, or other family members. They could lay in their own bed while friends came by to "pay respects" or had a wake and a rosary (like Suziq's) and then be taken to the cemetery in a very relaxed manner. Home funerals were the norm for most of history...
This you really don't want. They may have done that throughout history, but they also buried them the same day. Some of the things you fear, like your body being moved around by strangers, is really better for your family than asking them to move you themselves and have you in the house when you are starting to turn. Suck it up, you won't care if you're the dead one.
I think it is an interesting idea 2J.
After three days, fish and dead company start to stink...
What's the matter with you? Ain't you got a fridge?
The fridge is full of potato salad for the wake. Not a good idea to store them together.
