Man holds own funeral with roses and fanfare
Gerald McKinney 42 organized a large funeral at the county fairgrounds near Lucasville to honor his wish to be mourned with roses and lively songs. About 800 to 1,000 mourners attended, far larger than his great grandfather’s 1896 service, as he urged applause for performers and introduced musicians from local clubs. The event contrasted with the past and included a later note that he planned no second funeral.
