Widow went on days-long traveling wake with dead husband
She used ice to keep the body cold during her travels.
Officers responded to a call last week to find the body of a 78-year-old man inside an aluminum transport casket.
Ketchikan Police Chief Alan Bengaard told the Ketchikan Daily News (http://bit.ly/2a4IF5q) that the woman stopped at canneries for ice to put in the truck bed during the “rolling wake.”
