BIG FUNERALS
BY {. J. More

by {. J. wore
We are inclined to make too much
display at funerals. Not only do we
crowd the churches on such occasions
but we also delight in joining the pro.
cession to the cemetery. We have
known some societies to hold the bod
les of the dead for a week in order
that there might be big display
made on Sunday. Then with brass
band and colors flying they strut up
and down the streets, seemingly en-
joying the opportunity of displaying
their uniforms and other regalia on
such an occasion.
We have heard it said that this is
an excellent way to advertise a soci-
ETY. by making big display, as others
will be induced to join, and of course
swell the membership of the organiza-
lion. Be that as it may, but as much
as we believe in advertising, it has
never occurred to us that dead man
should play the leading role in ad-
yertising anything. Furthermore, it
seems as though it is desecrating the
dead, and should not be tolerated in
This manner.
A few years ago there was fu-
neral conducted with so much pcmp
and ceremony that a stranger in the
aif 70 0kI ~
it was the governor of the state or
the mayor of the city that such big
demonstration was being made about
We will venture to say that there is
a bigger demonstration made over
some of our dead than over such not
ables as Theodore Roosevelt, Booker
T. Washington, or William Mckinley.
Certainly it is all right to show res
pect to the dead, but it is anything
but common sense to over-do the
thing. 1t matters not whether such
a person was only saloon-keepr or
something similar, he is given the
same kind of pomp and display. This
is not only inconsistent to society, but
it is ridiculous. No other nationality
makes such show over the dead as
our people do, and yet they think just
as much of their dead as we think of
ours, but they do not make fools of
themselves over it.
!, Another thing which we do not find
among other people. is the practice
our women have of turning out at

funerals. They often dress in gorg
eous uniforms, parade the streets,
march from the hall or lodge to the
church and then to the cemetery,
which is sometimes three or four
miles. This is practice that no other
race practices but ours. 1t is all
right to parade the streets on a spe-
cial occasion, as on the celebration
of the Emancipation or similar events,
but we insist that such practices as
long line of women in uniform
marching to the cemetery is some
thing that should go into the discard.
1t is out of date.
We have seen men in uniform 60
ing through all kinds Of military tao
tics while marching to the cemetery
There is nothing solemn about this at
all; in fact it has a tendency to take
away all the solemnity from the oc-
casion and partakes somewhat of the
common street parade. Such things
do not add to our credit, and sensible
people look upon them as childish i'm
pulses which would not be counten-
anced by intelligent people in these
days
Let us hope that big funerals, and
especially big Sunday funerals, will
be discarded. 1t might not be out
of place if the ministers would call
attention to these things from time
to time and impress the people with
the uselessness of so much pomp and
display at funerals, which should rath-
er be characterized by simplicity and
solemnity
