A question that has bugged me for years. Why is it that black funeral homes have white hearse and white funeral homes have black hearse. This for the most part at least in the South.This would also be a good place to share funny thing that happened during funerals Recorded Sermons @ www.pastorwiley.com

Hey, I've noticed the same thing.

Not black and white hearses but odd funeral happening:Not funny, but at my BIL's funeral both the 4SQ preachers had the deceased name wrong. Tommy was the deceased, Johnny was in the congregation. Both ministers preached Johnny into hell, and let 'his' sons know they would join him soon if they did not change their way and quit 'dranking'. After church one of the preachers came to me and said, At least them sinners heard one real sermon! I just looked at him and tried to smile.. Amazing what some preachers consider a sermon!

When I pastored in a small town, I along with another Church of God pastor were called upon to officiate a funeral. In that small town in the 90's, when the hearse drove by, everyone would stop and the men would remove their hats out of respect. The funeral home had an old hearse that had a bench seat in the front and the funeral home attendant was driving. The other minister, my friend, was in the middle and I was at the passenger door. It was very tight and all three of us were crammed onto this bench seat.

A funeral director called me at my first church, Rev, would you be available for a funeral tomorrow. I cannot find a preacher that will do it.I shoulda 'knowed better' I said Yes sir, be glad to.The lady had burned to death on one of the cold Missouri nights. With about 6 dresses on and several sweaters and coats she got too close to the cast iron stove and caught fire.I met the husband, who said he had been a Baptist preacher, but you could tell he was missing some bricks. Standing before the casket after our introduction the funeral director dismissed himself; the man said to me, You need to talk to my wife. hold her hand and get acquainted. I just stood there trying to look serious and concerned, but I was very confused. Then he said, Touch her, she is dead she ain't gonna hurt you!So there I stood and carried on a conversation telling the deceased who I was and that I would be speaking at her funeral.Total attendance was my wife and two sons and the husband of the deceased. First church, first funeral...... I am sure I did good! Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
