Why do we cheap out on food when people die? Shouldn't that be a time when we just eat ourselves into a coma? Who came up with the plan to have old ladies make up egg or tuna salad sandwiches in a church basement? They are terrible - I would never eat them. It is an insult and you all know it.
Recently my family actually pulled off the Joe Carter World Series home run move, well, at least in the world of funeral catering. This can only really be explained by the man himself...
As an aside, the only part of this random thought that doesn't make sense is the pitcher with the Kenny Powers mullet in this video... you are a pro athlete dude... have some respect... but that didn't make sense in 1993 either. Either way, Joe Carter basically told him to take his crust less funeral sandwiches and shove them.
So, in summary, don't cheap out on funeral catering. Put a little $ and energy into it. There should be passed appetizers of some kind (definitely chicken fingers and spring rolls...a staple at every quality funeral). Go open bar... everyone needs it, let's not kid ourselves. You may even consider taxi chits, especially for the extended family.
