A local funeral home is doing what it can to keep people from drinking and driving on New Year’s Eve.

Between now and noon on Thursday, drivers can visit McGuire, Jennings and Miller Funeral Home on North Broad Street and sign a contract stating they plan to drink or use drugs and drive on New Year’s Eve. If they are then killed in a wreck while operating a vehicle on Thursday, the funeral home will bury them for free.

Services they pledge to provide include a casket, grave space, limousine and preparation of remains.

Funeral home officials said the program, called “Operation Stop and Think” is designed to save lives by making people think before they act.

THAT is a fantastic offer! That offer is worth thousands! Even if you only have one drink and not even legally drunk, you could stop in there and sign the contract. As long as there is no clause stating your blood alcohol has to be a certain level when you die, you should be able to collect.   So if you get hit and killed, you can get the free funeral. Certainly better than getting killed and not having the free funeral.

If enough people sign up, might bankrupt the funeral home.
