  • Video of the George Jones funeral procession on its way from the Grand Ole Opry House (memorial service) to the Woodlawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Nashville Tennessee. This video was taken on May 2, 2013 about 1:30pm at Thompson Lane and Sidco Drive (just about a block away from the cemetery). It was only by coincidence that his song "When The Grass Grows Over Me" was playing on the radio. This procession followed an emotional star studded memorial service celebrating the life of George Jones at the Grand Ole Opry House. We went to the burial after this was taped. You can see pictures from the burial on my Tennessee Concerts website. Video by Pat Adams from www.TennesseeConcerts.com.

    His preacher said he turned his life around many years ago. He was saved and is now with our Lord .

      Yes, understand he had tried to quit drinking a few times and fell off the wagon, but that he was doing well the last several years of his life. I saw him in concert at a small venue a few years before he died and had a chance to talk briefly with one of the members of his band. He said that Jones had stopped drinking and that everyone around him was thrilled.

    It's the honorable thing to do for someone who has passed away and for their family, stopping for the funeral procession. I'm surprised that they don't have their lights on or flags on the cars. We always stop traffic for them. He had such a rough and tumble life. I hope he is at peace now and not having to fight the devils within. God Bless all of you who are family and friends.

    Looks like even God was a little sorry to see George die, judging by the clouds. Or, maybe, he was a little pissed off because now he had to deal with him one on one.

    We're here but for to choose our eternal home only. We have the gift of Salvation at our fingertips, but we must want and ask for it through Christ. He is our Savior, our mediator to the most high. Everything we have on this Earth, fame, money, posessions, are all temporal and will fade away. One hundred years from now, we'll all be a forgotten memory if Jesus toils that long, but if we are right with our Lord when we pass, one hundred years will be just a grain of sand.

    Not hero worshiping. I love George Jones more than I can type. But I pray country music will progress in the direction this man help start. It is a music genre that he and his generation started that is so much beloved. Ratings is the king these days. This is so wrong. I can only pray that what these giants started for us will be given to future generations. RIP George..

    God rest his soul, country music has died. Now all we're left stuck with is this stupid Jason Aldean crap. (Well, ok at least we still have Alan jackson, thank God!!!) What will it take to make the idiots in the music business wake up and start giving us real country music again??
