Partially true. Ever try to set one of those blue graveside tent shelters in a 30mph wind? Help the family from the funeral car to the shelter in a driving rain? They get the umbrella, you don't. Stand out on a hilltop cemetery....outside of the shelter.....in -20* Iowa winter? ((Every cemetery in Iowa seems to be on top of a windy hill in winter, and not a breeze to be found in summer.)) Coldest I ever was in my life was a military funeral in Boone Iowa in 2007 and I was only an attendee, not a worker bee.
