Not Exactly Gospel Music Related….Houston Funeral Directors Make a Statement

April 21, 2008 · Filed Under Not Exactly Gospel Music Related 

Violence is out of control in Houston. Everywhere you look something tragic is happening. The news is always filled with grim statistics that are shattering families.

The members of the Houston Funeral Directors and Morticians Association decided to make a bold statement this past Sunday evening by parading seventeen hearses down some of Houston’s highest-crime neighborhoods. There has been a disturbing increase in the number of young homicide victims over the past year and a half.

“We love our 100-year-olds, our 103-year-olds,” said Ariana Harris, a funeral director for Mabrie Memorial Mortuary in Midtown. “Those are the families we want to serve. It’s hard to see the kids.”

I hope the message got across.
