It’s a duty.
Good on you, Hanco.

We carry our own family to their resting place. Too many times.

When a good friend died last year 5 of his grandsons and 1 granddaughter were his pallbearers, the youngest was 10 years old.
We had adult spotters walking to each side but those youngsters got it done by themselves.

Many times. The first was my 20 year old brother in 1980, then grand parents, and uncles and aunts, and then lastly my parents.
I have few older relatives left to go. So those duties are mostly behind me.

3 this year alone. Same as mark, we carry our own. Lot of Aunts and uncles in their 80’s so probably won’t slow down anytime soon.

We carry our own family to their resting place. Too many times. We always did as well, but we’re getting pretty thin. Next one (maybe me) will require some draftees.
What fresh Hell is this?

Once.
After that, everyone got cremated.
