In the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, attending a masonic funeral is one of the requirements for the Master Mason Rookie Award. This gets young masons to fulfill a duty of theirs they might not otherwise know about. Just like Marines go to the funeral of a Marine, even if they didn’t know him or her, and firemen and cops often do something similar, masons should go to the funerals of masons, even if they didn’t know the brother. The family, and especially the widow, is always sincerely touched that you cared enough to see your brother off to the Lodge Celestial.
Good article, Tim.
