So the elderly gentleman meets with his doctor, clergyman, and lawyer and tells them that he wants to take his money with him when he dies. He instructs them to sell everything, divide the money three ways, and each put the money in his casket at his funeral.
At the funeral, each of them pay their respects, and place a package in the casket.
After the burial they meet and the executor of the estate asks them if they put the money in the casket.
Doctor: If we had better medical equipment, we could have saved his life. So I bought medical test equipment instead.
Clergy: He was a dedicated member of our congregation for many years. So, I used the money to build a new education wing, and will name it in his honor.
Lawyer: Of course I followed instructions as I was bound to do. I put in my personal check for the full amount!
