Wordless Wednesday…

This is *not* going to be wordless…

When I was a child, we used to pass through the small town of Gowanda, New York. There was a funeral home there, by the name of “Wentland” that caused us to giggle and tee-hee every time we saw it.

BUT, this one…well,  I keep wondering….should there NOT be a question mark at the end of the name? I mean “Am I Gone?” funeral home? Methinks if you need to ASK, it might just be too late!!!!

And, yes, I imagine Amigone is probably just another fine Italian name!!!

  • “Are you alive
    Amigone”

    Song by the Goo Goo Dolls. Surely not!

  • OK, Mr. Anderson…You HAD to have Googled to find THAT information!!!! And, that the Amigone Funeral Homes are a cchain in Buffalo! (where the Goo Goos come from, as well!)
    Only a diehard Buffalonian would be knowledgeable of that kind of info!!!

  • Love it!

  • My husband has a photo with that sign from years ago, and we recently saw it featured on America’s Funniest Home Videos — so, more than anything, I bet these owners are darn right proud of the name – LOL!

  • Oh Angela, how funny is THAT? My husband looked at this photo and said, “YUCK!” He commented that the lghting was horrendous, but I loved the “mystical” aspect it added to the name!!!

    I know that there are several other “Amigone” funeral homes in the Buffalo area, but they have “other” names tied to them too. Not too sure I would KEEP that name…too many wacky implications!!!!!
