The funeral service was much like many of the hundreds I attended in the century just past. The old parson--officiating in the country church--made the identical statement six times. “We won’t need any undertakers in heaven.” Each time, I glanced at the late Groner Pitts, funeral director at the service and best man at the wedding for Brenda and me almost 50 years ago. Groner’s facial expression didn’t change. After all, he’d conducted thousands of services, pretty much seeing and hearing it all.
