My great-uncle was a mason, and when he died I remember they had some sort of ceremony at the funeral home. All I really remember of it was lots of older men wearing aprons. My Dad was a junior mason when he was in high school, but dropped out because the lodge in his town wouldn't accept his best friend.
I'm Catholic and a female, so joining the lodge is definitely out for me, but my husband did consider becoming a Knights of Columbus (mainly for the life insurance).
