In our sixties we constantly received offers for free dinners. Sometimes they were to listen to condominium sales pitches. Sometimes for time shares. Sometimes to discuss “wealth management”(proving they didn’t know much about us!) Eventually those offers dried up replaced with offers for free hearing tests.
Now that we are well into our seventies the latest postcard(no fancy brochures any more)we found this in the mail this week. Apparently they have reduced their incentive for this one. It’s down to lunch and a quick sales pitch for cremation. Even the lunch looks minimal, perhaps just a cup of soup.
I am struggling to imagine someone thinking up this promotion. I would prefer not to munch or sip away while we discuss cremating the same body I am fortifying with the free meal.
I was reminded of the old saying from my college years “there is no such thing as a free lunch!”

No one helped us to choose cremation, so I could enjoy your post to the fullest.
