A man was brought into the funeral home wearing a perfectly tailored black suit. The widow showed up a bit later and while discussing the arrangements, the mortician asked if she wanted him buried in the same suit. The widow responded No, I want him in a blue suit as it is his best color. With that she handed over a check and told the mortician to buy a nicely tailored blue suit.
The next day she came in to view the body and was overjoyed at the work. The new blue suit looked wonderful and her late husband was perfect. She complemented the mortician at which time the mortician handed her back the check uncashed. The widow said no, I can't take this, that blue suit must have cost a fortune. The Mortician said that shortly afterward a man the same size as her late husband was brought in wearing a blue suit. He asked that man's widow if she mined if he was buried in a black suit. That widow said no, she wouldn't mind as long as it wouldn't cost extra. "So you just switched suits and that was it?" said the first widow. How very clever.
"Naw that was too much trouble" replied the mortician, "I just switched the heads."

I have two friends, both of whom are morticians but live and work in different cities. Both are mainly retired from actively running their businesses and each has a stockpile of nearly unbelievable tales of strange experiences they've had involving their clients. They should have written books. I don't remember hearing any stories about head swaps. I do remember a story about an extremely obese woman who required a little disassembly to get all of her to fit into the casket. Another involved a woman who wanted her several pets buried with her. He had to take them to a vet to get them euthanized. I think they were dogs, not sure.

"I'm sorry, sir. It seems all your mother's dogs ran away when I opened the door to take them inside the vet's office. I understand this is upsetting for you. I would like to offer you a 15% discount."
 
Sad, but I understand the pet situation.

Unfortunately many times there are no provisions made for the surviving pets.

Shelters often overstocked with Older Pets.

Regrets.

When dad died, all the dogs he loved for the past 30 years that had died before him were cremated and at his feet when he was buried. He had a considerably younger wife. I wish he cared about us enough to take her with him also!

Humor at its highest peak...love it!
One of our truck drivers at the School District died. No surprise there, except he was about 6'4". The coffin was about 5 1/2' long. His widow had a one day viewing and then had him cremated; rented the coffin. Nobody asked her, but all the whispering, etc., was the same subject matter. Sometimes it's best not to think about these things!
