Howard Harris Funeral Home Obituaries

Alright, gather 'round, folks. I've got a tale to tell, and it's not your average sob story. It's about obituaries, yes, you heard it right. But don't go rolling your eyes just yet, because this is no ordinary eulogy. We're talking about the Howard Harris Funeral Home Obituaries, a little slice of life (and death) that's been keeping the town of Meadowgrove chuckling for decades.

Now, I know what you're thinking, "Obituaries? Funny? You've got to be kidding me!" Well, let me tell you, these aren't your grandma's obituaries. No, sir. Howard Harris, the man behind the curtain, he's got a knack for turning the somber into the silly, the mundane into the marvelous. He's like the Robin Williams of the funeral home world, but with less 'Mrs. Doubtfire' and more 'Dead Poets Society'.

How it all began

It all started back in the 70s when Howard, fresh out of mortuary school and full of beans, decided he wanted to do things a little differently. He figured, why should obituaries be all doom and gloom? After all, life's a party, right? Even if it's a party that ends with you six feet under.

So, he picked up his pen, dipped it in a gallon of wit, and wrote the first of what would become Meadowgrove's most talked-about obituaries. And let me tell you, the townsfolk were not ready for what hit 'em.

Meet the cast of characters

There was Old Man Jenkins, who was known far and wide for his love of pickles. Howard wrote, "He loved pickles so much, he once tried to pickle his own feet. Unfortunately, he ran out of brine before he could pickle his toes." The whole town laughed, and Old Man Jenkins' funeral was standing room only. They say he'd have been proud to go out with such a crowd-pleaser.

Then there was Mrs. Baker, the town's most notorious gossip. Howard had a field day with that one. "Mrs. Baker has finally gone to meet her maker. We're not sure who's more surprised, her or him." The line outside her house stretched around the block, with folks eager to pay their respects and get the latest scoop.

And who could forget Little Timmy Thompson, the boy who was allergic to everything? Howard wrote, "Timmy left us too soon, but he's finally found something he's not allergic to: dirt." The kid's funeral was a riot, with everyone swapping stories about Timmy's latest allergy adventure.
