STORY Why Burial Is Better After Death by Ken Wall

Story title:  Why Burial Is Better After Death
by: Ken Wall


    The Wilkinsons of Sussex, England, received what they thought was
a gift package of herbs from Austrilian relatives. So they stirred the
contents into a traditional Christmas cake, ate half of it, and put the
remainder in the refrigerator.
Soon afterwards, they had a letter from Auntie Shiela in Sydney,
telling that Uncle Eric had died, and asking whether they had received his
ashes for burial in Britain.
    Shocked, the Wilkinsons summoned their local pastor to bless and
bury Uncle Eric's leftovers.
    After he had read their letter on the air, a BBC announcer expressed
his sympathies, but added that he probably would not be popping over for
lunch.
