Grand Prairie AirHogs News Release
Grand Prairie, Texas - The Grand Prairie AirHogs Professional Baseball team will be offering one lucky (or unlucky!) fan a free funeral as part of a promotion during a Tuesday, June 3rd 7:05 PM game with the El Paso Diablos. All expenses will be covered by the Chapel of Roses Funeral Home and Oak Grove Memorial Gardens, both located in Irving, TX.
"We thought this promotion was a great opportunity for us to showcase Irving's newest funeral home," said Chapel of Roses Funeral Director, Charlotte Chism Waldrum. "We are excited to be partnering with the AirHogs in their inaugural season."
As part of the package the fan will receive a certificate for a casket with choice of color, along with professional fees, burial preparation, use of facilities, and vehicle services; all courtesy of the Chapel of Roses Funeral Home.
Oak Grove Memorial Gardens will be the providers of the burial space. They will include the opening and closing of the burial service, as well as a 24" x 14" granite marker with a zinc base.
Fans of all ages are welcome to participate in the promotion. Registration will be accepted immediately and will continue until 6:15p.m. on June 3. Fans can either call to register at (972)504-9383 or can visit the fan assistance booth before the game. Twenty people will be selected randomly from the pre-entries and will be announced after the pre-game funeral march. Throughout the game, competitions will be held between the twenty selected to determine who will be the winner.
Some of the in-game-festivities will include: pallbearer races, mummy wrapping, eulogy deleveries, and much more! Fans are encouraged to wear black to the game.
