But yes, there has to be jello for a proper funeral lunch. 😀

My Grandma was Methodist and again small MN town - no bars or jello but oh my the cakes. OMG the absolute best cake ever. The “church ladies” took great pride in the cakes they made for funerals. It was what they “did” for departed parishioners. I see a similar pattern at my church - one woman always, always makes Buckeyes for the requisite cookie plate. Even for her own father’s funeral.
