I have just come across this funny story and thought it would be funny to share with you all!! There was a man who worked all of his life and saved all of his money. He was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife, "Now listen, when I die, I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. I wanna take my money to the afterlife." So he got his wife to promise him with all her heart that when he died, she would put all the money in the casket with him. Well, one day he died. He was stretched out in the casket, the wife was sitting there in black next to her closest friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said "Wait just a minute!" She had a shoe box with her, she came over with the box and placed it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away. Her friend said, "I hope you weren't crazy enough to put all that money in the casket." "Yes," the wife said, "I promised. I'm a good Christian, I can't lie. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him." "You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?"asked her friend. "I sure did. I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote him a check." replied the wife. ha ha

No he won't be mad at her just pleased that she did what she did to finance herself as when he got there he would have realised he didn't need money there anyway. Her indoors is always right yeah LOL. Ellie :D

I think that when she meets him at the door, he will be glad to see her but will probably expect her to bury the remainder of the money with her!! lol

Hehehe, that is so funny. I would have done the same (though I wouldn't marry someone that idiotic!)

I dont think I would have come up with a clever idea like that. Maybe have split the money 50:50 or 75:25 - 75 to me though. Can you imagine if someone did actually get buried or cremated with all their money!!?? Do you think people would really respect their last wishes??
