n March 3, 2002, McKenzie Cremation and Burial hosted the Golden-Globe Award winning “Six Feet Under” fund-raiser at the Little Brown Chapel in Long Beach, California. The evening brought in a total of over $7,000 for Long Beach AIDS Walk. Over 500 people attended the somewhat unorthodox event. In attendance were actors from the show including Tim Maculan who has the recurring role of Fr. Jack in the series.

Before the screening guests were allowed to enter the chapel at 8.00 p.m. to purchase raffle tickets, enjoy candy, soda and assorted snacks that were placed inside of open caskets. At approximately 8.50 p.m., Mr. McKenzie introduced himself and opened the evening to punctuated fanfare and background music from the chapel’s own organ. At 9.00 p.m the season premier of “Six Feet Under” was projected on a large screen for the congregation to view.

After the viewing, a raffle was held and prizes were won by those who dared open the caskets that were in front of the chapel.

A great round of thanks for the over 15 “Volunteer Stiffs” who helped make this fund-raiser a great success.
