Something Fishy

It helps to have a dark sense of humour in my profession.

The majority of loving owners would like their pet to die at home when the time comes, gracefully, in it's sleep. For the most part sadly this is not the case, however for a lucky few, they get up one morning to discover that their pet has passed, a smile on its little hairy lips. For those people who do not want to bury their friend we provide a cremation service, with or without the return of the ashes. 

A gentleman called us one morning to ask for our assistance with the disposal of his pet's remains. He had risen to find that his beloved goldfish was floating the wrong way up. We said that if he brought the body in we would take care of everything for him, without charge.

30mins later the sad fellow dropped off a Tupperware box containing the earthly remains of his fish. It was in this bag.

I nearly died trying not to laugh.
