Overheard

[Opalin]

So there's a man here having a shouted convo on his phone. Topics have included;
Car payments
Theft
Bank statements
Dumba** womenfolk
Funerals and partial cremation
Part of someone's mother already in the ground
Hard drugs and if that involves rent/clothing

[Pixelated]

WTF is partial cremation??

Never mind ... don't answer that.

That's where somebody should videotape the whole thing and post it on YouTube ...

Trust me, myself, the other desk attendant, AND our boss who was sitting in an office with the door closed (she stuck her head out afterwards) were sitting in vague awe and confusion. It was too loud and featured so many strange topics...

WTF is partial cremation??

I would assume it's related to amputations.

[flyonthewall]

I've never heard of partial cremation.

Apparently it's something practiced by certain Native American tribes where the fire was used to clean the body rather than disintegrate it, allowing the bones to be moved somewhere else.

That's possible. Bone requires a fairly hot fire to burn.

Stop looking at me like that. I know from a buddy who studied undertaking.
