My father is buried in Forest Lawn -- a location picked by my aunt who lives nearby. It is almost offensively neat and fussy with little "houses of worship" dotted here and there. In my father's case, his send-off was conducted in the hallowed sanctuary of The Wee Kirk O'the Heather (not far from downtown L.A.)

La Verandah vividly remembers have to take the place of an ailing male poll bearer. We all rather struggled over the sloping hillside with the casket toward the plot because her spike heels kept sinking into the deeply watered grass and she'd have to stop and pull 'em out time and again.

The moral being: When attending a funeral, always wear flats because you never know.
