What is a Service Gentleman?
A Service Gentleman assists the Pray Funeral Home Funeral Directors in caring for families we serve. They help as we transfer deceased family members from the home, hospital, nursing home, or hospice where death has occured, into our care. They also greet guests at visitations and funeral services. Our Service Gentlemen are usually the first person a guest sees as they drive into the parking lot for a funeral as they help guide the funeral guests to a parking spot and lead them to the appropriate entrance of the funeral home.
A couple of surprising credits
John has a great sense of humor as you will see in the interview. He is one of the spark plugs at the funeral home that keeps our staff smiling. Interestingly, he also has a couple of surprising credits in the entertainment world. Growing up in Metro Detroit, John played bass in a rock band, the Outcry. The band played throughout the Detroit area, and even won the JC’s State of Michigan battle of the bands in 1968, and got third place nationally in Atlantic City, NJ, the same year.
