During my senior year of High School, my best friend, as well as 4 others, were killed in various car crashes. They all (their families) received their degrees at the graduation ceremony. Their names were read off and the degrees were proferred. Yes, "Pomp and Circumstance" was played at our graduation. Not that I should have to say but no, "P&C" was not played at any of the funerals!
