A traditional New Orleans Jazz Funeral for the late tuba player Kerwin James. He died in Oct. 2007. Alot of viewers have been asking whats the reason for rocking the casket, it's so he can dance one last time. I also have a Mardi Gras Black Indian Funeral video on here too. I must WARN you it is'nt your "typical" funeral. ONE CITY ONE LOVE ONENAWLINS.

    Hey DoJouke Bridges the purpose of shaking of the casket is so the deceased can dance one last time.

    This is a celebration of life, not a mourning of death.

    R.I.P. Kerwin James <3 --- What a beautiful way to celebrate a life passed. I've read a bit about jazz funerals but have never seen one before this video. Had me in tears! Thanks for sharing.
