I just got back from a memorial service for a friend of mine who passed this year. The guy loved cars & motorcycles, owned many, had a 6+ car garage, and was a Haggerty insurance broker (one of the top brokers). This guy loved life and would not have wanted a stuffy funeral service. So, his wife and her brother (the deceasts business partner) came up with a car show/memorial service complete with an In and Out truck serving free burgers, chips, and drinks. They rented a local high school parking lot and auditorium. It was a very nice service and definately a nicer way to be remembered.
. Something like that takes a little bit of the sting out of a passing, its more like a celebration of his life rather than a traditional service. Im sure he was happy with it. 
). One of his lines was that he tries to follow God's word, but after seeing Rich's new garage he was shaky on the Covet commandment
