cemetery

I had this funeral where the grandchildren were the pall bearers - young people in their twenties - who, perhaps were a little unsure of the concept. There were three young men and four ladies, very stylishly dressed with this season's dress mules with very high heels. During the service there was a torrential downpour, but the casket emerged from the church to soft sunshine. Some of the pallbearers had difficulty on the steps. Those would be the ones in heels. At the cemetery shoes were piled by the hearse and some of grandmother's pall bearers had bare feet.
