Peter T, I am no fan of melodrama nor do I consider a dead body a sacred object. However, your post up top is very different from the insightful musing I am accustomed to seeing from you.

As far as the Baggage Coach song is concerned, I would guess that if one of us - you. I. - had traveled to retrieve the body of a dear one for burial at home among dear ones, we - I. You.- might feel just a bit overwhelmed.
