In reference to my previous post regarding my first seeing of “Tombstone” Google: A huckle bearer is a person who carries a casket or coffin during a funeral, with the "huckle" referring to the handle on the coffin. Some say the term "huckle bearer" is a death threat, as it could mean "I'll carry your casket" or "I'll put you in your casket". Also Googed: (US slang) The person one is looking for; the right person for the job. I'm your huckleberry. So, could be either, I suppose.
