Sometimes a friendly bet can make even the smallest of things more interesting. Here’s some bets only you and others in your field can make.
1. The “Graveyard Dash”: Betting on mourners racing to claim the front row seats at a funeral service.
2. The Stairmaster: when the removers pull up to a house or apartment complex, they each take a guess of exactly how many stairs there will be. Closest without going over wins.
3. The Long Lost: Will there or will there not be an estranged kid, cousin, or lover? Yes or no?
4. Jackets or Jorts: Will more suit jackets or jorts be at the calling hour? Examine the family and make your decisions.
5. Celebrity: Will the local celebrity use your funeral home or the competitor?
6. Weight lifters: How many of the pallbearers will say, “I didn’t realize this casket was THIS heavy.”
