Not sure of the exact date, but at least forty years ago I was given a fig tree. The woman who gave it to me was a family friend named Lisa. I sang for her husbands funeral and did not want a fee. She gave me the fig tree that her husband had readied for planting.She called it "Charlie's Tree".
Each year we get a bounty of delicious figs. Granted the birds get there share but always enough to eat and give away.
That was indeed a great gift - a wonderful and unusual funeral fee.
