funeral flowers

walking home from the park yesterday, a funeral passed me winding it's way through the neighborhood. A bit odd I thought. then they stopped. The two funeral directors hoped out of the lead car and walked two massive funeral wreaths up to the front porch of a house. this was a new one on me as I'd never seen this done before. Every funeral I've ever been associated with, the flowers were usually given to the church or some such thing or put on the grave. interesting.
