Ask an Undertaker

     This is a reminder about the 'Ask an Undertaker' post, which allows people to anonymously and publicly ask and answer questions about the Australian funeral industry. Anyone can post a question, and I or another person with experience will try and answer it.

Strange Last Request

    I've heard of some odd last requests, but this one is probably the strangest.  A husband decided to honour his recently deceased wife by having an "exact" replica of her vagina carved onto her gravestone.  The wife had apparently requested this, and even took photos to be used by the sculpter.

    Apparently the hardest part was finding a sculptor who would agree to do the work.  The article states how most called it "blasphemy".  Personally I think this is very wrong, it is not the job of the sculptor (or undertaker) to decide if it is right or wrong.  If that was the request then it should be honoured without prejudice or judgement.  One might not agree with the request, but it does not make it right or wrong.
