The Funeral

My Grandma's funeral was held on Friday, September 6th at the Hunstville, UT cemetery.  My Grandma was never one to enjoy the spotlight.  She also was a no nonsense woman.  My family decided to just have a graveside service for her.  I think she would have been happy with the short and sweet service.

On Thursday, a few close family members who were endowed met at the morgue to dress my Grandma in her temple clothes.  I was able to help put on some of my Grandma's temple clothes. It meant a lot to me to help dress my Grandma in her beautiful temple clothes.   

 On Friday, we all met at the cemetery for the actual service.  Her Bishop said a few words of comfort and then my cousin Allen dedicated the grave.  We passed out flowers and anyone who wanted to could lay a flower on her casket.  

We held a luncheon afterwards at the church.  After lunch we set up a microphone and anyone who wanted to could share a few short memories of Grandma.  It was so wonderful! We laughed and cried over all the memories we shared.  She was such a wonderful person!  Some other words people used to describe her included: sassy, tease, classy, fun, loving, kind, forgiving, caring, sweet, honest, and faithful.
