Strike 3,956 Posted July 30, 2020 George Floyd, now this Lewis guy. Their funerals are like 8 hours long. I haven't had to go to that many thank god but don't remember any longer than an hour or so. Guess they're special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyinHeadlock 459 Posted July 30, 2020 George. He had like 3 funerals. One was on local TV in Houston ALL DAY. Most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. I honestly thought the Queen died and they entered the black section of England. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted July 30, 2020 I was surprised by how long Muhammad Ali's was. For Lewis, I can see it. Guy was a big deal in the civil rights movement for a very long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyinHeadlock 459 Posted July 30, 2020 Ali was dead for so long. It was like weekend at Bernie's. I actually thought he was still around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funerals are tough to walk out of because everyone knows you and there aren't tons of people there for most regular funerals. For my mom's it was about 150 or so in a large church and everyone is seated towards the front of the church. What I think I don't like the most is the wake though. I did not enjoy my mom's wake even though I caught up with some really good cousins I hadn't seen in a while. I don't think I'll go to my dad's wake if goes before me. I don't like remembering people in the coffin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyinHeadlock 459 Posted August 1, 2020 Did anyone see that large family member in jeans and some dollar store shirt walking behind Lewis's procession on the bridge. I'll give it to her though, she wobbled a long way and just said the hell with chaffing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
