A young preacher was asked by the local funeral director
to hold a grave-side burial service at a small local
cemetery for someone with no family or friends. The
preacher started early but quickly got himself lost,
making several wrong turns. Eventually, a half-hour late,
he saw a backhoe and its crew, but the hearse was nowhere
in sight, and the workmen were eating lunch.

The diligent young pastor went to the open grave and found
the vault lid already in place.

Taking out his book, he read the service. Feeling guilty
because of his tardiness, he preached an impassioned and
lengthy service, sending the deceased to the great beyond
in style.

As he was returning to his car, he overheard one of the
workmen say: "I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty
years and I ain't never seen anything like that."

Received from Father Ray.
