My point for doing the Mob obits is if somebody is truly interested in the background of these individuals, the obits are a great starting point for the ancestry nerds like myself to pull up documents needed to confirm the research.

OK, but the least you should do is pass the basket and have Mass cards at the door on the way out

During the days of Prohibition, they buried some Mob big shots the same way as they buried some King or a Pharaoh in ancient times. They used to spend millions of dollars in todays money on flowers or statues and other bullshit
