Joan Crate: Hi, my name is Joan Crate. It's Crate as in apple box crate. When my mother died, we went to the funeral home and told them her name, and the guy started smiling, and we wondered why. And then he let us know that there had already been somebody earlier that day who had died, and her last name was Carton. So that day both Crate and Carton were being sent away.
