A thoughtful father from New York helped his mourning daughters keep down costs after conveniently dying on the way to his late wife’s wake, allowing his offspring to do an impromptu two-for-one funeral.
Norman Hendrickson, 94, a retired assistant postmaster in an Albany suburb, had the good grace to stop breathing in the limousine on the way to a wake for wife Gwen.
Quick-thinking funeral home staffers laid Hendrickson beside an urn containing his wife’s remains in a viewing room, while daughter Merrilyne posted a light-hearted sign for arriving mourners: “Surprise – it’s a Double-Header – Norman and Gwen Hendrickson – February 16, 2013.”
Apparently Norman was a thrifty old bugger so would have enjoyed the money-saving aspect of the joint-service. At least that’s what his daughters said. We’re surprised they didn’t just dump the bodies in a skip and have done with it.
