Furp's funeral information

[giza]

The page at http://obit.heritagefuneral.com/obitdisplay.html?id=638735 just got updated. Here's what it says now:

Visitation will be Saturday, February 28, 2009 from 1-4 PM at the Funeral Home with Funeral Service at 4 PM.

HERITAGE FUNERAL HOMES
New Berlin Chapel
16880 w. National Ave.
New Berlin, WI 53151
262-901-1140

For folks who are flying in, the nearest airport seems to be MKE. However, ORD is a major hub and only about a 2 hour drive away, so it may be cheaper to fly to ORD and rent a car instead.

Also, a reminder, this funeral is primarily for the benefit of Furp's family, many of whom have had no exposure to furry. Ears, tails, and fursuits would NOT be considered appropriate attire for the funeral. Shirts and ties at the very least, gentlemen.

Are you going?

My last memory of Furp, is seeing him with you.

[giza.livejournal.com]

Yes.

And whoa.

The whole no ears/tails thing seems like it would be common sense to me, but better safe than sorry, I guess.

Eh, if it were MY funeral, I wouldn't care. My family (and co-workers) *know* I'm a whacko. :-P

Furp's family barely understands what furry is all about (http://www.anthrocon.org/about-furry), though. Plus, there will be military folks there, since he served.

My family would be pissed. :P

The flight + rental was pretty reasonable from PHL when I booked it last night. When are you arriving?

[giza.livejournal.com]

I'm arriving much later tonight.
