Son in-law gives home burial.

A man went on a vacation to the Middle East with his family, including his mother in-law. During their vacation in Jerusalem, the mother in-law died.

With the death certificate in his hand, the bereaved son in-law went to the Embassy to make arrangements to send the body back to UK for a proper burial. The Consul told the son in-law that to send the body back to the UK for burial is very, very expensive. It could cost him as much as £5,000.00. The Consul told him, in most cases like this the person responsible for the remains normally decides to bury the body here in Jerusalem. This would only cost him around £150.00. The son in-law thinks for some time and answers, “I don’t care how much it will cost to send the body back, that’s what I want to do.”

The Consul says, “You must have loved your mother in-law very much considering the difference in price.” “No, it’s not that,” says the son in-law. “You see, I know of a case many, many years ago of a man that was buried here in Jerusalem. On the third day he arose from the dead! I just cannot take that chance and risk it.”
