The passing of an Era.

The wife of the late Ernie K-Doe passed away on MardiGras Day. She was quite the character, having a wax figure of Ernie made after his passing, but he was able to be at her Jazz Funeral.

She also owned and ran The Mother In Law lounge here in NOLA. Some may remember Ernie from the song, Mother In-Law.

I must say her funeral drew a crowd, and it was amazing to see the old and young musicians join together to celebrate the life of Ernie and his wife.

These are just a few images where I tried to show what a Jazz Funeral is all about.
