Women are rarely ever pallbearers.

@JustLikeGreta I don't think I've ever seen one.

@SW-User One gentleman here in town put it in writing and chose all female pallbearers. Also know of a few others over the years, special women in their lives.

I know a lot of women around here who'd do a better job of it than scrawny old me! When my one grandfather died, he had 5 adult grandsons to be pallbearers, for the 6th they got the husband of his adult granddaughter to do it. Grandson-in-law? This was the mid 70s and was considered a males only job.
