After the death of a never married 94-year old spinster of his parish, the rector was given a note from her personal belongings.  In the woman's handwriting were specific instructions for her funeral service.  Along with the suggestions for Scripture readings and music were the following orders:

"There will be no male pallbearers.  Since they wouldn't take me out when I was alive, I don't want them to take me out when I'm dead."
