An old lady is very upset as her husband Albert had just passed away.
She went to the undertakers to have one last look at her dearly departed
husband. The instant she saw him she starts crying. One of the
undertakers strides up to provide comfort in this sombre moment.
Through her tears she explains that she is upset because her dearest
Albert was wearing a black suit, and it was his dying wish to be buried in
a blue suit.
The undertaker apologises and explains that traditionally, they always
put the bodies in a black, but he'd see what he could arrange.
The next day she returned to the undertakers to have one last moment
with Albert before his funeral the following day.
When the undertaker pulls back the curtain, she manages to smile through
her tears as Albert is resplendent in a smart blue suit. She says to the
undertaker Wonderful, wonderful, but where did you get that beautiful
blue suit?"
"Well, yesterday afternoon after you left, a man about your husband's
size was brought in & he was wearing a blue suit. His wife explained
that she was very upset as he had always wanted to be buried in a black
suit," the undertaker replied.
The wife smiled at the man.
He continued, "After that, it was simply a matter of swapping the heads"
