A BETTER Funeral Home

Unfortunately, I found myself spending a couple of days at a funeral home recently. All other things aside, I came across something quite unique when I went inside with my wife and children. Right off the main entrance was a special children's play room. It was decorated straight out of a Pottery Barn catalog, really nicely taken care of in every way. There was a bookshelf full of puzzles and books, a mini kitchen, Etch-a-Sketch, toy vacuum, toy fish tank, and various blocks and Lego's. In all the various funeral homes I've ever visited, I've never come across anything other than basic sitting rooms full of chairs and tissue boxes. It was definitely a Purple Cow in a sea of tradition.
