Memorial or Funeral Rites for GLOs.

I wonder how many of your organizations have funeral rites or memorial service rites for deceased members of your groups? Do you do them for any member of your fraternity(women's/men's)? Are they "sectarian" in nature, and where and when are they performed?

Yesterday, my graduate chapter held the Omega (Psi Phi) Funeral Rites at a Catholic Church where the wake was being held for a deceased brother. And we sang the Omega Hymn,"Omega Dear" at the funeral Mass for our brother at the request of the family. We have three types of these ritualistic services:funeral, informal memorial and formal memorial. These exercises are very moving and important for the families and the brothers.
..."and when we say our last goodbye, we'll love Omega Psi Phi.--from last stanza of "Omega Dear" by Dr. W . Mercer Cook and Dr. Charles Drew.
