Johnson Tyler Attention Brothers Would you like a Masonic Funeral after you go to meet the Great Architect of the Universe? Two things need to happen. One, your wishes should be made known to your family or those in charge of funeral arrangements and preferably be in writing. Two, a funeral can only be performed on a Mason in good standing (your dues must be current). Don t make assumptions. (by Bill Eyerly) 2
