Last week I did about 100 headstones. Not too weird of a job, but the circumstances surrounding it were. I got a call from a man from a cemetery foundation and we talked for a bit and I named my price of $1200. He didn’t hesitate and said he’d write and mail me a check right then and there, which I ended up receiving in the mail a full week before the job. Now I’ve never been paid up front so it was odd to me.
Come to find out he passed just a few days later and was buried in the same cemetery I would be cleaning. I wonder if he knew it was coming.
