Funerals are meant for families to mourn the death of a loved one and celebrate the life they were able to have. It is not an arena for someone to protest with signs. Protesting and picketing of any kind should be banned from funeral services. Do not put family and friends through more heartache than they are already experiencing. Make this petition effective so that no one should be allowed to protest within a mile of the area where the funeral services are held. Everyone is entitled to the right to express their opinions, but times like these are not the right times or places to do so.
