CHAPEL OF REST

Two wives and children are tthere.

- The funeral manager asks who the wife is and both reply. 

Funeral Manager.- Let's discuss the details. How would you like the coffin?

Wife 1.- A simple wood coffin.

Wife 2.- He deserves the best one. A big oak coffin with golden angels and velvet inside, exactly as in Dracula's movies. 

Wife 1.- No way!

Funeral Manager.- Take your time, think it over. Now, what about the music?

Wife 1.- Just quiet classical music. 

Child 1.- Mummy, daddy loved folk music with a band; can we have a band playing his favourite song?

Wife 2.- Of course, darling!

Funeral Manager.- Ok ladies, take your time, think it over. 

Mother-in-law (direct to the Funeral Manager).- I came to arrange the details of my son's funeral. 

Funeral Manager.- His wives are already dealing with it. 

Mother-in-law.- His wives?? My son was single!!!

Wife 1 and Wife2.- You never knew him. These are your grandchildren. Say hello to your granny!

Mother-in-law suffers a heart attack and collapses. 

Funeral Manager.- Now, another funeral. Now everything is solved you can have both styles: one simple and one musical funeral.
