Hey there, time traveller!

WINNIPEG — Neil Bardal, whose family has run funeral parlours in Winnipeg for over 100 years, died early this morning.
A son was by his side. He would have been 70-years-old on Tuesday.
The original Bardal Funeral Home was founded by Neil’s grandfather, A. S. Bardal.
Neil wanted to be a Lutheran minister but his father signed him up for mortuary school in Toronto.
Neil sold his share of the Bardal Funeral Home on Sherbrook Street in 1979 and started Neil Bardal Inc. on 984 Portage Ave. a year later.
That funeral home was closed in August 2009 and moved to his dream, $2.5-million funeral home at 3030 Notre Dame Ave., across from Brookside Cemetery. The funeral home includes a crematorium.
Neil was given six- to eight-months to live after prostate cancer, which doctors thought was caught five years earlier, had spread to his bones.
His son Eirik is expected to carry on the company.
