There were only a couple of Jello salads but lots & lots of bars at my maternal grandmother's funeral.

I am of the opinion you are not legally dead in Minnesota if there is not Jello at your funeral lunch.

I worried that my dad's brother had faked his death when at his lunch, held at Mt Olivet Lutheran Church (one of the big ones in Minneapolis, if you're not familiar) there was no Jello at all.
