Wow! We usually don't have this kind of excitement at local funeral homes.
Visitation for Mr. X started at 10:00 AM. I arrived at 9:05 with a late delivery. I was standing in the flower room signing the log when two police offers swooshed through the outside door and past me, telling me to "Stay where you are" as they passed through the interior door into the funeral home. I looked out the outside door - two more cruisers pulling up.
By the yelling I can tell that the problem is that the deceased's wedding ring is missing off his finger and that one of the family members has taken it. Fisticuff's ensue, family is in a total uproar and the police are...wait for it..patting down/frisking family members and handcuffs are being whipped out.
I got the heck out of dodge before it could escalate any further - mercy, what a situation!
