But where will the funeral be?

Al Davis, the maverick and sometimes controversial owner of the NFL Oakland Raiders, died today at age 82.  My sympathetic thoughts are with his family and friends.  But one question stands out to me:

Where will the funeral be, and which funeral home will do the burial?

Think about it: The funeral home and the church are oldand therefore, obsolete. The City of Oakland needs to demolish both old buildings immediately.  Then they have to construct an all-new funeral home *and* a new church, both with extra luxury boxes, club seating, a large restaurant in each building, a huge digital scoreboard, extra parking for tailgaters...

...and a special police substation for all the miscreant Raider fans...

...plus, protective head-gear for the pastors so that they're not gravely injured when Raider fans start throwing D-cell batteries at them...
