My First Funeral, Sort Of

As expected, I had to take charge of the last half of today's funeral at the church while our Funeral Director went back to the funeral home to lead the procession to the National Cemetery. So me and the errand guy went up to the altar, turned the casket and processed to the rear of the church, where we removed the pall, exited the church and put the casket back into the hearse. It went smoothly, the family was very pleased with how things were handled, and my confidence has kicked up another notch.
