OT burial customs and organ donations

[Guest guest]

Jackie,

think of the ACTION you would see in that outfit. I once had a job

at a place that made burial gowns, and they were literally nothing you'd

want to be caught dead in. Like prom dresses, only for the dead people

with no taste. Complained about a ruffle being 1/4 of an inch off. I

assured them the person who was wearing it was NOT going to complan. I

called them " Shrouds R Us " They were not amused.

But they even sell underwear for corpses. Who knew? I'm all for the

scorch and scatter method of body disposal, after all organ donations are

made. But understand if you're over say 35 or so, they don't WANT your

organs. Too old. But skin can always be donated for burn victims, and

don't forget the National Temporal Bone registry, which would LOVE to

have your temporal bones for study on the effects of hearing loss,

cochlear implants and so forth. At ANY age. Bones can be harvested

after death, and are the only way they can study them. So don't take

your organs to heaven, Heaven knows we need them here. Sign a donor

card, and leave something behind to help someone else.

Geez, , I sure HOPE not! Jewish people are laid to rest in a white

shroud - with NOTHING underneath! Would hate to be running around in THAT

for the rest of my life! <giggling> Thanks for the laughter! Jackie )
