That doesn’t sound right. I thought they just needed to be closer to their final destination!

The closer to the core the better.

Love the signs on Mort’s desk. Still giggling at “Ask about our layaway plan”. OK, yes, I’m easily amused.

Caskets to go, but you still can’t take it with you.

If I can’t take it with me, I’m not goin.

Don’t forget the lead barrier.

And the deeper and downer the better!

It always amuses me that those luxurious hearses and their carriage predecessors were so fine for a guest-of-honor who was in no shape to care.

I’ll swear that I saw an ad in a paper for a crematory that bragged on offering “senior citizen discounts”.

I found out the hard way that it costs about as much for a pet cremation as it does for a human one.

Dig???? The politicians in my area are so crooked you can just screw them into the ground.

Joke would work for lawyers too.

And make sure they’re face down so they can see all their friends.

I wonder if Mort’s assistant is named Claude Clay (Like the mortician in the old Tumbleweeds comics of the early 70’s)?

Somebodyshort: “Does Harper count?” No way, there isn’t a hole deep enough for him to be good!

Laughed out loud at this one. Great art & wonderful commentary from the “Peanut Gallery.”

It helps them stay buried. Nobody wants any more zombie politicians.

POPPA1956 said, about 1 hour ago: “It helps them stay buried. Nobody wants any more zombie politicians.”

That’s why we put those big stone monuments on top of their graves, too.

@sandfan* The signs tickled my funny bone too. Great minds think a like…or small minds?? Confusing….

But they’re so full of it, they make great compost!

hey. you hired ‘em. your fault.
