A Vincy Funeral

As we went for a walk we happened upon a funeral procession. How it is done in St.Vincent is they have the funeral ceremony at the church a little while before sundown then everyone walks to the cemetery (about a mile or two uphill) as they follow the hurst they sing and dance, celebrating the person's departure from this life of suffering into their eternal rest. We were able to capture some video (with permission) of the service at the grave sight. I hope you gain a respect for the wonderful people of St.Vincent and their unreserved emotional freedom from watching this clip. The person who passed away was an elderly woman.
