Delivered in a Southern Baptists style, it's different from the service in Pennsylvania, but still an unmistakable Masonic ceremony.
Despite the Christian flavor of this ceremony, Freemasonry is open to any good and worthy fellow who believes in a Supreme Being, no matter what name he uses. In the fraternity, we simply refer to the Supreme Being as the Grand Architect of the Universe. For those who are a man to whom other men can trust their lives, be called 'brother'.
My uncle who was a Jr. deacon in the lodge was highly honored with mason rights, I want to go in but I don't have the time right now. Forgive me, I pray thee, was one of the things he told me. It was an honor to help bury my uncle as i presented the flag to my Aunt.
Great work and show of respect for your fallen friend. It is important to note however that Most Worshipful Mt.Carmel Grand Lodge, Inc. of California is an irregular and clesdine loge not recgonized by PHA grand lodges, mainstream grand lodges, and the UGLE. Those that are considering joining Freemasonry, consider joining a regular lodge or you will not be allowed to visit.
as an english freemason and having attended many funerals but never seen anything like this . very respectful and a great reminder of the brothers past .
wow, this is by memory. He speaks with passion, and authority, I'm sure this wasn't or is easy for any lodge member. I noticed that these gentlemen's aprons are black and gold. I have a question: Are there different colored aprons for a certain level for a brother?
Yes Sir PM how well do I know that the Masonic family as a whole is beautiful , I bring you greetings from Stone Square No 5 F&AM PHA Jurisdiction of KY.
To the Stone Squar No 5 F&AM PHA Lodge, Jurisdiction of KY, we offer our thanks for the welcome greeting you offer.

Thank you for your kind reply. Masonic ceremonies are usually beautiful. Display by a Masonic Brother should always be given much consideration as it's not that easy to perform in front of the public.
Correct; We were unaware of "THE richard Ramirez"; This is the Master MASON and Past Grand Master of Masons, "The Hon. Richard Ramirez" of the Golden State Grand Lodge of California.
i thought someone told me that masonry wasn NOT a religion, but instead a frat. Well, they sure to talk about God, angels, and an afterlife alot for some "frat".
@FATIGUEDOUT You thought someone told you? Well, I will tell you that it IS NOT a religion, but we do put our TRUST IN GOD...or a SUPREME BEING. No atheist are allowed.
To my Brothers...thanks for sharing. Wonderful ceremony!!
The Grand Lodge in the video is from the Most Worshipful Mt.Carmel Grand Lodge, Inc. of California where Hon. Richard Rameriz is Grand Master (or Past Grand Master). And what is your Grand Lodge affiliation if I may ask?
