It is Memorial Day in our country. A day to remember our veterans and those who are now protecting us with their own lives at stake. It is also a day to remember our loved ones who have 'gone on before us'.
In La Palma, a funeral looks like this. The casket is hauled on a pickup, and the family and friends walk in front, beside, and behind it. The cemetery is a long distance, but they take their time. Traffic may back up for a mile or more. Funerals usually are scheduled only a day or two after death because embalming is not affordable.

God bless you,
