”Well what do I have to do?” Piper asked.
”Stand at the edge of the funeral. Direct people to the restrooms if they need it, hand out tissues, tell them you’re sorry for their loss.” Alex crossed her arms. ”It’s really nothing. If you could just do this for me today.”
”I mean, I could just be the funeral attendant all the time.” Piper shrugged. ”That way you wouldn’t have to go through an outside company and wouldn’t have to hire somebody else.” She suggested. Alex smiled and looked her up and down.
”Really? If you did it’d take you up to full time hours.”
”I could always use the extra cash.” Piper said, smiling.
”And what about Larry?” Alex cocked one of her thin eyebrows high up on her forehead.
”What about him?” Piper sounded a bit more tense than she had intended to.
”Alright. Let’s do it then.”
Alex opened the chapel doors and allowed the large crowd of mourners to flow in. Piper had only attended one funeral in her life. It felt strange to watch a funeral for someone she had absolutely no connection to. Everyone was crying and sniffling, the small children in the crowd were understandably confused. She watched as one by one they slowly approached the casket to say goodbye to their loved one. The preacher gave a eulogy before going into a few gospel songs that Piper wasn’t familiar with. She spotted Alex across the room, mouthing along with the words as the crowd sang. Once the funeral was finished, the crowd migrated into the reception area. Alex and Piper followed, standing near the doors.
Piper was surprised to see the family members laughing and smiling as they mingled in the reception area.
”I thought funerals were supposed to be sad?” She whispered to Alex who smiled.
”Death is different for everybody. Sometimes people are angry, sometimes people are happy, sometimes people are insanely relieved. It’s fun to watch.” Alex answered.
An elderly man sitting at a table near Alex spoke loudly to another man at his side.
”All I’m saying, Vern, is that this place has really gone down hill.” He said, stabbing his fork into a meatball. ”I mean, it’s alright and all but when Diane was running this funeral home, that’s when this place had dignity. You saw the amount of makeup they caked onto Aunt Eva in there. She looks horrible.” He said in disgust. Piper looked over to Alex who’d hung her head. She was smirking and nodding her head as she listened.
