For the mourner who really doesn't care all that much. They should add a party store.

They should my an old drive in movie theater and have funerals there.

You could drive past the casket, go park and hang the speaker from your window. (or tune in on the radio these days)

I know where a few were.

There’s one still operating on US-12 down to Coldwater. I saw Kung Fu Panda and the last Indiana Jones movie there a few years back. They were doing a booming business with 2 screens showing 4 movies a night.

I’d rather go to a drive in than an indoor theater. Now that they can broadcast the audio for car radio there’s no reason they couldn’t have movies during the winter.

Still its a summer thing. Its nice to be able to kick back or set up some lawn chairs in the truck etc.

So if the deceased is named Jack... Would this be a “Jack in the Box” drive through?

Kind of like In and Out, only different.

Wow, that’s not even dated. Cannibalism, vomiting, John Cleese’s mother... all right off this week’s pages of the Daily Mail.

The mark of great art is that each generation reinterprets it anew.

I heard about it earlier today. It’s a busy place for the regular funerals.

“This has been tried before — it failed because there weren’t that many dead people driving around.”

Should put it next to a polling place.

In their off time, they double as a wedding chapel where elopers are married by Elvis.

DANG!
