Margaret is very upset as her husband Albert had just passed away.
She went to the undertakers to have one last look at her dearly departed
husband. The instant she sees him she starts crying. One of the
undertakers strides up to provide comfort in this sombre moment. Through
her tears she explains that she is upset because her dearest Albert was
wearing a black suit, and it was his dying wish to be buried in a blue
suit. The undertaker apologises and explains that traditionally they
always dressed the bodies in a black suit, but he'd see what he could
arrange.
The next day she returned to the undertakers to have one last
moment with Albert before his funeral the next day. When the undertaker
draws back the curtain she manages to smile through her tears as Albert
is resplendent in a smart blue suit. She says to the undertaker
"Wonderful, wonderful, but where did you get that beautiful blue suit?"
The undertaker replied "Well, yesterday afternoon, just after you left, a
man about your husbands size was brought in and he was wearing a blue
suit. His wife explained that she was very upset as he had always wanted
to be buried in a black suit."
The wife smiled at the man.
He continued, "After that, it was simply a matter of swapping the
heads."
