I have never seen anything like this in my life but you can tell these are brothers from his fraternity and it meant a lot to them. At the end of the day it was about sending him home in a special way and it isn't something that anyone else has to understand. That was their way of honoring him so I'm happy if they are happy.
I quite agree with you, will this take him or her to heaven? All these are wasting of money and celebrating the dead. GOD SAID Let the dead burry their dead period

T T since you wanna bring my nigga God I’m into this, a funeral is not supposed to be a sad occasion, but a home going service, plus you don’t know shit bout that nigga’s life he may requested this to be done at his funeral.
I am sure they work for the funeral home. We have a funeral home in St. Louis that offers this service. They use to have a reality show where they showed them practicing
I loved this just beautiful. Through hate for our race, lynchings, killings, drugs introduced into our neighborhoods, police brutality, etc. We celebrate love, life, and honor of each other. My friends husband's birthday party was like this, minus the casket. They marched and danced for him too. Watch a Ghana funeral and you will see why they celebrate everyday. Spread love even in death. Big difference, no ones celebrating his death, but his life.
Absolutely beautiful💝💝💝💝💝 much respect that's the way he wanted to be honored I loved every minute of it💝💝💝💝 whomever was truly in love and the pallbearers showed out... The singer has a magnificent voice outstanding💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
if we do research on are African history we've always perform burial ceremony this is beautiful we as Africa America need to stick to our culture and not be ashamed.
I'm African and I can see what she means. It's true that in many tribes in Africa, funerals are big celebrations with lots of performances. People sing, dance and even eat a lot during funerals.
for people that don't know, different organizations do special things for their members funerals, Mason's, Easton Stars, and other brother and sister memberships, out of respect try to understand instead of judging. only I had never seen them applauding.
Nadine Walker this dies not have to be done in any secret or non secret society. I am and will never be a part of a Mason or Eastern Star and I have been to funerals that is similar and is formatted the same. Just the way some Funeral Homes are performing these days
T T -- I take it you disagree T T. And if you do that's fine. You're entitled to your opinion just as I am mine. Personally I've never seen such a display take place at a funeral. Perhaps you have. Either way to answer your question, yes. Seriously.
Very different and entertaining but I thought brah on the end was gonna lose his balance and fall up there. Anybody's legs that weak may not want to try no casket tricks...especially if the body is in there 😩
If this person or their family chose to have the final departure of the deceased persons life on earth be done this way SO BE IT!!! It is NO ONES' right to judge or make derogatory or racial comments. I hope this funeral brought some comfort and closure to the family and friends...God Bless Them All!!
I think this was Beautiful despite all the negative comments on here y'all gotta remember this was a person funeral and maybe this is what that person that passed will he or she could of requested also people are grieving there love one and there performance could of cheered the family up !!!!! This was still Beautiful tho
People people people especially the person who post this video on youtube! Before you comment and judge! Take a look at this video carefully and closely! Notice the surroundings This not a funeral service. Its not even set up to be a funeral service. Look at the room. Its a hotel ballroom. Look at how the chairs are set and placed. There is not a body in the casket. GeeWiz! This is a competition that took place at the National Funeral Directors and Morticians Convention that was held in New Orleans Louisiana! The Convention is held every year during the first week of August in different cities! This year the Convention will be held in August 2015 in St. Louis Missouri!
+Lee Bethany Thanks for explaining. At our national church convention, we hold sessions like this, not as large, to teach newer ministers how to conduct funeral services. PEOPLE view videos carefully before making negative comments.
Lee Bethany yea at 1st I thought it was a funeral. Then I knew it wasnt when they held the casket above their heads, turned around, and held it up with one hand. To attempt to do that with a heavy corpse would not be good.☺
I really like this, it is very classy & they handle the casket with so much care & respect. I am sure the family of the deceased was very comforted to see there loved one go home in style.
You know what's wrong with society??? You always feel like you have a say in what someone should or shouldn't be doing!!! Is it your funeral? Is it your family? Let this person and FAMILY allow them to go on as they please. It's a tribute and not some old sad song singing,flower dropping, and sorrowful event! Hell half of you probably wouldn't have this many family or friends in your real life, let alone this many people at your funeral. Smh
Beautiful beyond words! Many cultures have jubilant homegoing celebrations. Why must we be ashamed of ours? Yet proudly embrace other's, especially our kidnappers? I love the shoulder hoist & carry, I think its the highest honor, but this was poignant & outstanding!
Ashanti Thomas somebody has to stand for God and let people know, when something is not of God, so that they might see the light and not do these type of things Amen.
Funerals are supposed to be a celebration of life! There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with this. In a time of sorrow, this brought joy to the people of that congregation. AWESOME!
eliyahu Ben Israel hmm this is what you have learned from your Torah and does it's teachings require you to spew hate? If so you're a disgrace to the Black Hebrews.
ppl are just jealous that Jackson family currently holds the record for best funeral acrobats. So far the two-step march and casket one-hand-switch-twirl remain unchallenged.
@Vo Moore Please believe me when I say "ABSOLUTELY NO ONE" is jealous of the Jackson family's funeral acrobats. They shouldn't be out there trying to do Harlem Globe Trotter tricks with a casket anyway.
T T and who says you are the spokesperson for "god"??? How do you know what "god" wants? Oh, because a book of contradictory stories says so I suppose.
This is kinda reminiscent of some African cultures, where they carry the body and sing in procession... Except... They did a little much here lol. And I have sooo many questions... Like how did they practice this? Did they borrow a casket and put bricks in it to simulate the weight of a body? And I guess they had a good couple of weeks to get it right, because you know *us*, a person can die on a Monday and the funeral won't be until Saturday after next lol. Or are these guys professionals that you can hire for any service? Lol maybe it's a funeral home add-on. All-star procession for an extra $600.
I love my people. We aren't afraid to be our beautiful and creative selves. Our culture was stripped from us and we made our own. If people aren't copying us, they are mocking us. Either way, they are talking about us. #proud
Romesco Sauce Please stop. Too many centuries of yall talking about God and Satan but nothing ever in real life ever ever ever has been shown. Funny how they both appeared several times in the bible but not once in real life human history has it been observed.
If this was to be done at a funeral it would be a wonderful tribute and beautiful home going service for a loved one. I don't see any thing wrong with it, to many funerals now days are just hurry up and get buried.
despite what others are saying,at the end of the day that was more likely what that person wanted at the time of they departure.Talk about on point.Rehearsal had to been on point.I know for sure i would have dropped the casket.Them brothers there are talented
all can say is "I've never " 😟 it was very entertaining but If that was my love one I dnt thk I wud want all those tricks and moves while carrying to his /her place to rest . my feelings no harm to each is own... RIP 💕
Yes sir! The Temptations doing a pimp strut at the ballroom funeral! Except, that last dude. You know the one on the side who didnt know the moves, he was an add on last minute!
What were the circumstances of this event? The way they did the snatch, must have been an empty Casket or very light decedent. I've done my share of military interrments and the casket (even empty) is Heavy!
Yes this was different but no different from anybody who's loves ones want to honored and to show respect. This was done tastefully for whoever is now gone. People with all this negatively please have some respect for whomever is in the casket. Remember WE all will pass away one day and you don't want people to pass judgement on your funeral. It's just not cool and showing lack of respect. I must say that this funeral was far from being sad and boring which is a good thing. To many funerals leave you feeling empty and very sad. It's okay to break from the traditional funeral. Praise the life of the person and their personality. It's all good in the eyes of the Lord.
I actually like this home going. I don't want any frowns I want everyone to know I'm turntable up for MY GOD and me having the pleasure to go back home this way woooow.
funny thing is the ones leaving negative comments dont have life insurance or people who care this much about them so your funeral won't be this nice smh haters will hate misery loves company
Rain Bowens I don't think we hating, God said give honor where honor is due, God is not a traditionalist, the traditions of man are null and void! Jesus spoke against the traditions of man and their unGodly cultures, but nevertheless, death is a serious matter and should be treated as such, what's love got to do with his sons? Fraternity brothers? Whoever they are? tossing around his? dead body in a casket, love has nothing to do with nonsense, no matter who it is, they wouldn't do this to a woman, God forbid in Jesus name. Wake up Afrika! Oh great black continent, the dispensation of Grace Jesus has arrived, act like it.
Lol! For those of you thinking this is crazy- I sure would love to see your faces in a creole funeral New Orleans ,,, we have what is called "a casket dance",,,,; it's a sign of respect .... Been done for many generations.
i read the comments and although they are funny i feel the need to explain. This is referred to as a crowning hence the song the soloist is singing. Before closing the casket they will place a crown on the deceased head.
No the song actually is about the crown of life the Lord gives to the ones that loves him. The song also mention about putting on a white robe which is a spiritual meaning as well....it has nothing to do with the physical.
I don't see ANYthing wrong with that at all. I read all these comments first and thought it was going to be a 3 ring circus, or people "attempting entertainment" and failing. This is his family's send off to him, that's paying their respect to the deceased. None of you have a right to judge this. The song was very appropriate. It is a heart ache to lose someone on the earth to send them into the earth while their soul has already risen. That was professional..not that it matters...but it what they attempted to do.. they did with great skill and respect. Soldiers buried may get a gun salute with shots fired. Not everyone understands that, but again..it's a high level of respect in sending them off. Gee wiz people. Are we all still so stuck on "our way or the highway"? When will we EVER learn to blend. Just stop judging the way every one does their thing accept when it harms people. That's all. That's it. And this nation would be a different, and so much more magnificent if we could all just do that. Live and let live. Amen.
Jae Emm true live and let live what about God? What about how God feels about it, remember the Lazarus that died and wanted a cool drink of water in hell, wanted Jesus to just stick his finger in water and touch his tongue with just a drop of water, wanted to go back to tell his brothers to change their life so they wouldn't come where he was HELL
Not if this was your child or a parent. People are grieving and these clowns are putting on a show with the casket?? The casket should have bounced off their heads! Let the "crowd" be thrilled with that performance!
Now, seeing the title is what made me watch this video, so imagine my surprise when I see this amazingly choreographed funeral march! By the title, I'm thinking, please don't tell me that they are going to knock the casket over or drop it, but this was tight! I don't see what the problem is. See, we have it twisted most of us, we are supposed to REJOICE when a person leaves this world and CRY when a child comes into the world, but we do totally opposite! I recently lost my grandmother and she was my backbone, our families backbone. I hurt like crazy and miss her terribly,but I couldn't for the life of me break down like I did at other funeral! Why... cause first of all, my granny was 98yrs old! Secondly, my granny knew and served the Lord and I know and trust in the Lord and I KNOW where she went! But the main reason is because I heard her speaking these words to me.... you dry up them tears right now, you hear me!? Don't you cry for me, I wish you could see the tears I'm crying for you cause Mamma is fine! I don't have no more pain, no more bills, no more worries! I am at peace waiting for you to get here! Me personally, I've told my family, I want the traditional New Orleans home going!!!! Louisiana folk got it right!
I'm glad this was only a competition because I was waiting on that person to open the casket and pimp slap them pallbearers. That took to long to march down to the casket wow!!
Amir Womack The answer is what school did you attended ? First of all,"U" is not a word in the english language. A sorority is a society for female students in a university or college, typically for social purposes. Men are in fraternities not sororities.
+ Amir...I believe, Shelia, is saying rest easy my " brotha," is 1, she means it in a Christian sense. 2, I don't know if you are black but in our culture we use the term " my brotha," a lot. So it could just that, or both? my Brotha.
My mistake, I meant a Fraternity. FYI...I am a Delta and I went to the University of Texas in Austin and I didnt get my azz beat... Why are you so angry. I suggest you think Positive and let all that negativity go...Geeze
This to me takes away from the person who has departed. To me this is just too much. There is a company now where you can hire these men to do this type of ceremony. I just find it's almost like a freak show. I guess some people like it, but I would never want this....just say'in
I think they did an excellent job. They worked very hard to get it right and they did. I'm sure the family was well pleased... And a little nervous by that shoulder turn. Great job
I agree. Done with so much love and respect. Obviously the pall bearers new him well and gave everyone a little insight to the mans personality. He was looking down loving his brothers for celebrating him. Just love it. I would love it someone did that for me. BTW I'm a white guy for whatever that means to those that say everything is black and white
So I take it that this person was in some type of sorority. Very well coordinated, however the spirit left the body once the heart stopped. All that's left is flesh. Why do we still try to make the dead still be apart of this world. Simple funeral should always be. R I P
I'm African-American and I have seen funerals with similar ceremonial stepping, but not quite as elaborate as this. The departed must have been a dearly beloved brother or mother or someone else very close.
+Todd Smith it's probably one of those Willy Watkins funeral home services. They will provide what every you want. They hire people for all types of funeral services.
I have seen this before. There's a funeral home in St. Louis, (they were featured on the cable channel "TLC." The show was called 'Funeral Boss'), that offers this portion of the funeral service as an option for the family. I think it brings a very unique aspect to the otherwise "regular" home going service.
That's What You Call A Celebration Of Life! I once heard at my cuzn's funeral (who mind u was murdered at age 29). We Will Cry At A Funeral (When We're Going To Meet Our Maker) But Be Joyous & Happy When A Baby Is Born Into This World Of Sin. So think about it, Why is that exactly? We should be Celebrating a life at a funeral, bcuz no matter how short or long their days were, celebrate the time they were here.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! I PRESENT TO YOU - THE CASKETTES!
Mark, you crazy! LOLOLOL!!!
rotfl
you crazy for that one, good one😂
rotfl..the caskettes..wow
That is too funny!
I have never seen anything like this in my life but you can tell these are brothers from his fraternity and it meant a lot to them. At the end of the day it was about sending him home in a special way and it isn't something that anyone else has to understand. That was their way of honoring him so I'm happy if they are happy.
u or very right.
That was a good explanation of the event, because I was like....😲...
you're so right. Who are we to judge.
the Unknown Source Thanks my friend. Best of luck to you!
who is this a Egyptian sister
I agree
Looks like they have a clear understanding of rejoicing unto death instead of being sorrowful. I think it is beautiful
Greg Hamlin read your Bible, God is not pleased with this foolishness, this nonsense
+T T I agree with you.
I quite agree with you, will this take him or her to heaven? All these are wasting of money and celebrating the dead. GOD SAID Let the dead burry their dead period
Beautiful is a understatement this individual was loved and respected by many .
If u know your bible like u think you think ...Judge not nor shall you be judged
When a police officer dies ... Something similar is done with rifles ... This is beautiful ... And can be done at my funeral.
I liked it. They gave us a SHOW. I'm sure the deceased would have enjoyed it. You don't do all of that for some random dude.
jesushateswood I don't think the deceased was or God is pleased.

If they don't hurry up down that darn ISLE!!!! GEESH!!!
Darn and geesh? It's better to just cuss or take the lords name in vain. Sounds less crazy lol. Especially the geesh part.
Omg why are u watching this type of video?

Lol can u shoutout my name shout your video plz

To each his own...but that place would have been emptied in record time if they dropped the body lol
for people that don't know, different organizations do special things for their members funerals, Mason's, Easton Stars, and other brother and sister memberships, out of respect try to understand instead of judging. only I had never seen them applauding.

Oh🤔
Nadine Walker I think it's beautiful and respectful. They must have really loved this person
Nadine Walker this dies not have to be done in any secret or non secret society. I am and will never be a part of a Mason or Eastern Star and I have been to funerals that is similar and is formatted the same. Just the way some Funeral Homes are performing these days
I am Eastern Star and yes, we do have a beautiful ceremony to say goodbye to our sister or brother.
Them some talented ass pallbearers, I'll tell you that! They didn't miss a beat.
Michele Jenkins talent? seriously.
T T -- I take it you disagree T T. And if you do that's fine. You're entitled to your opinion just as I am mine. Personally I've never seen such a display take place at a funeral. Perhaps you have. Either way to answer your question, yes. Seriously.

This is a beautiful tribute to their fraternity brother...it was a beautiful home going..That's all i see...Much love to you all!
Very different and entertaining but I thought brah on the end was gonna lose his balance and fall up there. Anybody's legs that weak may not want to try no casket tricks...especially if the body is in there 😩
lol, "casket tricks"
If this person or their family chose to have the final departure of the deceased persons life on earth be done this way SO BE IT!!!

People people people especially the person who post this video on youtube! Before you comment and judge! Take a look at this video carefully and closely! Notice the surroundings This not a funeral service. Its not even set up to be a funeral service. Look at the room. Its a hotel ballroom. Look at how the chairs are set and placed. There is not a body in the casket. GeeWiz! This is a competition that took place at the National Funeral Directors and Morticians Convention that was held in New Orleans Louisiana!

Bragging about that being unchallenged is like bragging about winning in Russian Roulette lol.

look like maybe he was drum major/ in the band...

despite what others are saying,at the end of the day that was more likely what that person wanted at the time of they departure.Talk about on point.Rehearsal had to been on point.I know for sure i would have dropped the casket.Them brothers there are talented
all can say is "I've never " 😟 it was very entertaining but If that was my love one I dnt thk I wud want all those tricks and moves while carrying to his /her place to rest . my feelings no harm to each is own... RIP 💕
Yes sir! The Temptations doing a pimp strut at the ballroom funeral! Except, that last dude. You know the one on the side who didnt know the moves, he was an add on last minute!
What were the circumstances of this event? The way they did the snatch, must have been an empty Casket or very light decedent. I've done my share of military interrments and the casket (even empty) is Heavy!
Daniel Booker maybe the brothers was strong. Who knows but whatever or whoever was in the casket, he or she had a darn good service
Yes this was different but no different from anybody who's loves ones want to honored and to show respect. This was done tastefully for whoever is now gone. People with all this negatively please have some respect for whomever is in the casket. Remember WE all will pass away one day and you don't want people to pass judgement on your funeral. It's just not cool and showing lack of respect. I must say that this funeral was far from being sad and boring which is a good thing. To many funerals leave you feeling empty and very sad. It's okay to break from the traditional funeral. Praise the life of the person and their personality. It's all good in the eyes of the Lord.
nothing wrong with this ceremony it was beautiful for there father's HOME GOING
There's nothing wrong here.
Nobody know if their love ones going to heaven or hell if they did why should Jesus come back

How u know that person going to the father house that not gonna get him or her into father house so why spend all that money l9ng wrong might need it.
I actually like this home going. I don't want any frowns I want everyone to know I'm turntable up for MY GOD and me having the pleasure to go back home this way woooow.
I think this is fine, they are celebrating instead of crying and being depressed. It's beautiful
The Casketeers
This is our Culture....Embrace it
Sister, I ain't never seen a funeral done like this before. Is this done in the South?
I don't know
charlestonchewy
funny thing is the ones leaving negative comments dont have life insurance or people who care this much about them so your funeral won't be this nice smh haters will hate misery loves company
Even our Master Jesus was buried simply how much more making it big whiles some are suffering
Rain Bowens thank you!!!
Rain Bowens Facts!
Rain Bowens I don't think we hating, God said give honor where honor is due, God is not a traditionalist, the traditions of man are null and void! Jesus spoke against the traditions of man and their unGodly cultures, but nevertheless, death is a serious matter and should be treated as such, what's love got to do with his sons? Fraternity brothers? Whoever they are? tossing around his? dead body in a casket, love has nothing to do with nonsense, no matter who it is, they wouldn't do this to a woman, God forbid in Jesus name. Wake up Afrika! Oh great black continent, the dispensation of Grace Jesus has arrived, act like it.
lol
Spiritual things can only be spiritually discerned. This was amazing!
Honestly, it was respectful and done beautifully, really a celebration of life ❤️
This funeral will not be forgotten ..
joyce davis THIS IS NOT A FUNERAL.
This person was love by many people
That what you call a home going the brother was love
The most honorable thing I have ever seen at a funeral. So nicely done, well planned.
They should do that on AMERICA Got Talent
Lol! For those of you thinking this is crazy- I sure would love to see your faces in a creole funeral New Orleans ,,, we have what is called "a casket dance",,,,; it's a sign of respect .... Been done for many generations.
i read the comments and although they are funny i feel the need to explain.
This is referred to as a crowning hence the song the soloist is singing. Before closing the casket they will place a crown on the deceased head.
No the song actually is about the crown of life the Lord gives to the ones that loves him. The song also mention about putting on a white robe which is a spiritual meaning as well....it has nothing to do with the physical.
+Akimat Spears you're right, I was speaking of the presentation and/or the march they were doing.
Thanks you for explaining... the ceremony was excellent and amazing.... 👑
I think it was a lovely gesture and i loved it. Good for them to dare to break away from “tradition”👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I pray when the Lord takes me home, I have that much Love! Amazing and a Blessing to see!
I don't see ANYthing wrong with that at all. I read all these comments first and thought it was going to be a 3 ring circus, or people "attempting entertainment" and failing. This is his family's send off to him, that's paying their respect to the deceased. None of you have a right to judge this. The song was very appropriate. It is a heart ache to lose someone on the earth to send them into the earth while their soul has already risen. That was professional..not that it matters...but it what they attempted to do.. they did with great skill and respect. Soldiers buried may get a gun salute with shots fired. Not everyone understands that, but again..it's a high level of respect in sending them off. Gee wiz people. Are we all still so stuck on "our way or the highway"? When will we EVER learn to blend. Just stop judging the way every one does their thing accept when it harms people. That's all. That's it. And this nation would be a different, and so much more magnificent if we could all just do that. Live and let live. Amen.
Jae Emm yes the song was beautiful, the antics weren't keep it real auntie Emm
Jae Emm true live and let live what about God? What about how God feels about it, remember the Lazarus that died and wanted a cool drink of water in hell, wanted Jesus to just stick his finger in water and touch his tongue with just a drop of water, wanted to go back to tell his brothers to change their life so they wouldn't come where he was HELL
cus obviously youre still blind, Jae . what has , zero to do with entering into gods kingdom , MEANS NOTHING...trust , so why bother wt bufoomery Jae?
Its about celebration. Pray they are going to Heaven!
Troy Alvin Sr. u can't pray someone into heaven. what, they were going to hell but so many people prayed God changed his mind? lol
Troy Alvin Sr. .
troy, not how it works . come to my church , theres training
They doing magic tricks with the casket oh hell naw.
I think it was beautiful and so very respectful. I admire the singing and the walk movements.
i couldnt have sat there with a straight face, i tell you that!!
Right, cause sitting here lmao...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol
Lol!!!! Well at least you wouldnt have been soooo sad hurting and crying. The laughter would lift your spirit
I would be laughing hard
Not if this was your child or a parent. People are grieving and these clowns are putting on a show with the casket?? The casket should have bounced off their heads! Let the "crowd" be thrilled with that performance!
God bless these guys they can send me home this way
Brian Kalenda no Brian you don't want this form of witchery presiding over you or your body.
Dead or alive Amen
Sometimes I think my people are from another planet. Seriously? Every situation ought not be an opportunity to show off.
😂😂😂 is that a death dance
Now, seeing the title is what made me watch this video, so imagine my surprise when I see this amazingly choreographed funeral march! By the title, I'm thinking, please don't tell me that they are going to knock the casket over or drop it, but this was tight! I don't see what the problem is. See, we have it twisted most of us, we are supposed to REJOICE when a person leaves this world and CRY when a child comes into the world, but we do totally opposite! I recently lost my grandmother and she was my backbone, our families backbone. I hurt like crazy and miss her terribly,but I couldn't for the life of me break down like I did at other funeral! Why... cause first of all, my granny was 98yrs old! Secondly, my granny knew and served the Lord and I know and trust in the Lord and I KNOW where she went! But the main reason is because I heard her speaking these words to me.... you dry up them tears right now, you hear me!? Don't you cry for me, I wish you could see the tears I'm crying for you cause Mamma is fine! I don't have no more pain, no more bills, no more worries! I am at peace waiting for you to get here! Me personally, I've told my family, I want the traditional New Orleans home going!!!! Louisiana folk got it right!
I'm glad this was only a competition because I was waiting on that person to open the casket and pimp slap them pallbearers. That took to long to march down to the casket wow!!
A man....this shit was HARD! Dem boys sent they dog out the right way man!! I liked it!! Respect!
We do like to process,stut,& dress up. Go on y'all 😅
damn but that turn around move was kinda cold tho, while yall bullshittn.
haha ok sugar free"....getyomoneywhyyoubullshittin....." I see you lol!!!
I have never seen this but it was well done.
He must have been in a Fraternity, not a Sorority and this was his last request. Rest easy my brother.
Please look up the definition of sorority before using the word.
Amir Womack
The answer is what school did you attended ? First of all,"U" is not a word in the english language. A sorority is a society for female students in a university or college, typically for social purposes. Men are in fraternities not sororities.
+ Amir...I believe, Shelia, is saying rest easy my " brotha," is
1, she means it in a Christian sense.
2, I don't know if you are black but in our culture we use the term " my brotha," a lot. So it could just that, or both?
my Brotha.
Amir Womack Amir I was never the joining the group type, I refuse to to get my azz beat to be part of a group. That 's what gangs do right?
My mistake, I meant a Fraternity. FYI...I am a Delta and I went to the University of Texas in Austin and I didnt get my azz beat...
Why are you so angry. I suggest you think Positive and let all that negativity go...Geeze
This to me takes away from the person who has departed. To me this is just too much. There is a company now where you can hire these men to do this type of ceremony. I just find it's almost like a freak show. I guess some people like it, but I would never want this....just say'in
I think they did an excellent job. They worked very hard to get it right and they did. I'm sure the family was well pleased... And a little nervous by that shoulder turn. Great job
or band members cause that's the FAMU 90° march
Dr. Foster's homegoing was so awesome! FAMU forever!
This is great, and honorable.
butterfly77330 you need Jesus....
I agree. Done with so much love and respect. Obviously the pall bearers new him well and gave everyone a little insight to the mans personality. He was looking down loving his brothers for celebrating him. Just love it.
I would love it someone did that for me. BTW I'm a white guy for whatever that means to those that say everything is black and white
I think it's beautiful. Well done.
I think Lucifer loves it too, Ms. Terri . Doubt Jehovah see any good in it
Terri, stop it!
So I take it that this person was in some type of sorority. Very well coordinated, however the spirit left the body once the heart stopped. All that's left is flesh. Why do we still try to make the dead still be apart of this world. Simple funeral should always be. R I P
Why not? This looks like a beautiful dedication.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it part of their culture to send off the departed with a ceremony like the one above?
Jnr
Hell no, that is not a part of their culture.
+Todd Smith Lol
I'm African-American and I have seen funerals with similar ceremonial stepping, but not quite as elaborate as this. The departed must have been a dearly beloved brother or mother or someone else very close.
I work for a Black owned funeral home(I'm white) this is just the way it's done this is mild I've seen some shit that would blow your mind
+Todd Smith it's probably one of those Willy Watkins funeral home services. They will provide what every you want. They hire people for all types of funeral services.
I don't see how anyone could see this as anything but VERY respectful. I would love to go out this way.
The family will remember it as a great send off, as will his friends. Great bit of showmanship and nice tribute and send off.
I have seen this before. There's a funeral home in St. Louis, (they were featured on the cable channel "TLC." The show was called 'Funeral Boss'), that offers this portion of the funeral service as an option for the family. I think it brings a very unique aspect to the otherwise "regular" home going service.
Linda Martin William C Harris is the name of the funeral home here in St Louis
Linda Martin shameful
That's What You Call A Celebration Of Life! I once heard at my cuzn's funeral (who mind u was murdered at age 29). We Will Cry At A Funeral (When We're Going To Meet Our Maker) But Be Joyous & Happy When A Baby Is Born Into This World Of Sin. So think about it, Why is that exactly? We should be Celebrating a life at a funeral, bcuz no matter how short or long their days were, celebrate the time they were here.
That was risky as hell
This has to be show that the Brother bond is strong brought a tear to my eye and the person must be very small and light
