SAN ANTONIO — Mission Park Funeral Chapels and Cemeteries announced the world's first drive-in funeral theatre to maintain social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic.
The theatre allows family and friends the opportunity to attend a funeral service from their own vehicle at no cost, the company says.
The service concludes with three honks representing comfort, support and love before guests drive away.
“Funerals start the healing process so we urge an extra effort be made to support those who are dealing with a loss of a loved one during this unusual time – offering support is needed now more than ever," said Kristin Tips, President & Managing Director.
