An American man, his wife and his mother in law went to the holy Land on holiday. The mother in law fell ill and died, so the man went to a funeral director to inquire about transporting the body back to America for the funeral and burial. The funeral director told him that it would cost $5.000.00 to transport the body to America, but a local burial in the Holy land would cost only $150.00. The man said he would think about it for a while before making a decision. The following day he went back to the funeral director and told him that he had decided to transport the body back to America for burial. The funeral director was a little puzzled at the man's decision and asked him why would he ship the body back to America for $5.000.00 when many persons would be willing (feel honoured) to have a member of their family laid to rest in the Holy Land and as an added bonus it would cost only $150.00.? The man replied: over three thousand years ago, a man was crucified, died and was laid to rest in the Holy land, but three days later he rose up again, I couldn't take that chance with my mother in law.
