    My wife has informed me to ask this and anymore I just do what I'm told so,,,,. We have been together for 30 years and have worked together day in and day out for over 20 of those years. Never been apart but one 11 day stretch. No guys or gals nights out. Only one vacation in all that time. Joined at the hip so to speak. Not much argueing either. ( Rather dull existence ) Do things change when a husband and wife start living in a shoebox together and drive 24/7? We are getting our CDL's now and are getting ready to leave our live's at home alone for two years. (Team driving) Should she trade me in for a newer model and let me live or pay for the funeral before we leave? Any takers on this one? :biggrin_25521:

    No funeral necessary...... she can just stuff the body in the trashcan at a Pilot. They never look at what's in the plastic bag. Burial in the landfill of your choice.:biggrin_25523:

    Seriously, I started out doing removals in HS, discovered I could do the most gruesome scenes and it didn't bother me so stuck it out, then quit when I was offered an OTR job for alot more money.

    I got my degree back in '06 and have been part time truck driver/part time mortician/remover.

    Hend, the way you phrased your question certainly gave me a chuckle, but I'm afraid that the thread title is throwing people off the true purpose of your post. I'm going to change the title to something that will be more immediately apparent.

    For those wondering, Hend1048's thread was originally titled: Pay for funeral now or wait?

    I'm very glad some people can do that. I couldn't even dissect my frog in HS.
