Drive-through viewings? Quite amusing.

My wife and I got a big laugh from a general interest short story published at the top of the Daily Herald's Page 2 on Oct. 19, describing Yankee ingenuity at its best. A funeral home in Saginaw, Mich., now includes drive-through viewing of the body. Yes, sit in car, look through a window and pay your respects to the family. Would a pleasant, soothing voice on a speaker say, "Ya want fries with that?" or "Would you like the cash back in large bills?" or "Do you have any questions for the pharmacist?" or simply, "Have a nice day."
