Great signs.
This got me wondering, are the PCS parking signs still available? I think the Michigan chapter had them.

Here are links to two different sites for Wachholtz Funeral Homes. What is interesting is that the second site clearly states they are not associated with any other Wachholtz Funeral home but they both detail a nearly identical history.

could be...

This could be a family fued. It might just be businesses using the same name and not being related in any way. Will we ever know? Do we need too?

Great sign. A few years ago, I came accross a crosswalk sign in an antique mall. What made it unique was that it was sponsored by a funeral home. When I went to pay for it, the total was way off. The dollar sign on the tag was not a dollar sign. It was actually another digit in the price. Needless to say, it stayed in the mall. So much for penmanship.:thumbsdown:
