Instead of wasting those nice flowers after the funeral, why not give them to the homes. The idea took off, my cousin, or his staff would deliver the flowers, every day to the staff of the homes. Big problem, the occupants of the homes, upon seeing a hearse draw up at the door drew the conclusion that their brand new retreats were Charnal houses, requiring the removal of corpses on a daily basis.

Only joking, I hasten to add. Terrible weather, I agree.<BR/><BR/>Ask among your friends. I'd guess you'll find a huge amount of voluntary work goes on without any of these modern inanities - visits, teas, readings, raffles, trips to the seaside or to Lourdes for all sorts of people and organized by just as wide a variety.
