This elderly Newfoundland fisherman is on his deathbed and summons his 3 sons
to his bedside. “Well boys, the time is near, and when I pass I’d like to be
buried at sea.” So the boys agreed. A few days after his passing, the local
front page read, “Local Fishermen Were Shocked Today When Their Nets Brought in
Patrick McCray in a Coffin, 3 Shovels and the Bodies of His Three Sons…
Funeral arrangements haven’t yet been made, however, it is believed all wished
to be buried at sea.”
