Famous quotes containing the words funeral and/or homes:
“That poor little thing was a good woman, Judge. But she just sort of let life get the upper hand. She was born here and she wanted to be buried here. I promised her on her deathbed she’d have a funeral in a church with flowers. And the sun streamin’ through a pretty window on her coffin. And a hearse with plumes and some hacks. And a preacher to read the Bible. And folks there in church to pray for her soul.”
—Laurence Stallings (1804–1968)
“Those comfortably padded lunatic asylums which are known, euphemistically, as the stately homes of England.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
