Today a Hershey's chocolate bar caused a wave.

He loved Hershey's chocolate. His favorite was the dark chocolate bar with almonds. Seeing it in the store was fine, and I even debated buying a bar even though I'm not a fan of dark chocolate. I didn't put it in my basket and continued my shopping.

But driving home, I thought about that chocolate bar and how I would have bought it. How I probably would have bought two because he would have finished the first in a day. And that caused a tidal wave.

If you like Hershey's chocolate, please have some for him.

Q: If I am cremated, can I be buried with my spouse even if he or she was in a casket?

A: Yes. Depending upon the cemetery's policy, you may be able to save a grave space by having the cremains buried on top of the casketed remains of your spouse, or utilize the space provided next to him/her. Many cemeteries allow for multiple cremated remains to be interred in a single grave space.

History

Dering’s Funeral Home is a long standing establishment of Morgantown. It was originally formed in 1909 by Fred Dering then was operated by his son, Edward Dering for a number of years. In 1984 the Dering family sold the funeral home to local investors in the funeral business. After working for Dering’s Funeral Home for fifteen years, Thomas Henson had the privilege and honor of buying the funeral Home in 2008 and changed the name to Dering-Henson Funeral Home. He enjoys meeting and serving the people of the community and is proud Dering’s has been a community friend since 1909.
