A wedding and a funeral

The Washington Park East Cemetery provides a full range of services for the burial of your loved one. They cater to all faiths and income levels, and can host an after-service meal with many food and beverage choices.

Added bonus: while you're there, you can stay and get married, because this cemetery also boasts that it's "one of the hottest places in Indianapolis for weddings." And I'm not sure if that's meant to be some kind of pun, because they also offer cremation services.

Now all they need is an obstetrics clinic and they can provide a true "cradle to grave" service.

"If I died, would you get married again?"
" I'd probably have to book the hall for the full day for your funeral, so while I'm there . . ."

It gives a whole new meaning to "until death do you part". What us men didn't realize was we were setting a goal !

Their business model is good. The dual nature of using the buildings takes care of the idle time between gatherings.

Somebody saw the movie "Four weddings and a funeral" and thought about all the weddings where someone dies. Double the money!

Can they marry two dead people? That would make them a full service cemetery. Some religions baptize or cleanse people of sins after death.

I'd get married at mom and daddy's graves to include them if I weren't married already. Fortunately mom was there to walk me down the aisle 26 years ago. Daddy was already gone sadly.
