I am sometimes shocked at how unashamedly people advertise. Perhaps the worst example I have heard of - yesterday a gentleman told me that following an internment (burial) a representative from the graveyard stepped up and began to advertise their services to those gathered. Hmmmm. Tacky or Whacky?
While I am at it - frankly - it always aggravates me how people no longer pull over for a funeral procession. There are times when people should not - it is too dangeorus. But many times, people refuse because they don't want to be bothered. It might make them two minutes late. There was a time when more respect was shown. People even use to remove their hats. Now they are too busy talking on their cell phones to notice or care. I have seen cops stop and get out of their cars and stand at attention. That is nice. By the way, someone from a funeral home told me it is currently illegal to pass a hearse that is in a funeral procession. But, it does happen.
