Disposal

Out here on Williams Street, scruffy-looking strangers amble by from time to time, leaving behind scraps of advertising paper on my porch or affixed to my front door. I don't ask for these
intrusions, or welcome them, and rarely examine them closely.
Once in a while, though, a name or a phrase will catch my eye -- you know how that is -- and just such a thing happened this week.
The name in this case was Olinger Crown Hill Cemetery of Wheat Ridge.
So is Olinger Crown Hill Cemetery selling something? You betcha. Turf.
The sales pitch: "March 2011 Only .....Buy One Interment Right ..... Get one Interment Right FREE .....Your Choice from 7 Different Blocks ...... Small Down Payments .....Affordable Monthly Payments."
Hey, that's a two-for-one deal.
I haven't had such an offer from this particular industry since a Neptune Society invited me in 2009 to participate in a lottery for a free cremation -- a service not to be consummated immediately, of course, but at some time of need in the future.
Well, I let that opportunity slip by and expect I'll let this one go too, but it's comforting to know there's always somebody thinking about you.
