"Funeral"

I didn't know where to post this, but its message is worth watching.

For some reason that reminds me of how my mother's funeral my sister told the story of when my mother and herself went to pick up Dad's ashes from the funeral home. My mother was quite tearful as she went in. Then the funeral director bought out the urn and both my mother and my sister started to laugh. My dad's urn was purple in colour. My father absolutely hated the colour purple to the extent he wouldn't have purple in the house or let my mother wear any shade of purple. My mother was laughing so much that she had to explain the situation to funeral director stating that my father wasn't spinning in his grave but certainly would be spinning in that urn.

From the day when Dad first told Mum of his hatred for purple (it was on one of their early dates) to the day she died (7 years after Dad's death) Mum never wore purple - this was a period of about 58 years.
