The dimensions of the page, the font, the way the music looks… idk I grew up in the Mormon church so apparently I can spot the way those hymnals look from a mile away. But yes, this is definitely in there, along with some other oddities.
Having grown up Mormon I now have " we will follow sacrament with _____ which you can find on page __" in my head now .. and it's so vivedly engrained.
I was at one last year, all people kept screeching about is how they couldn't wait for the funeral potatoes. And then again when they didn't have any because the person they were supposed to be morning hated them xD
Like.. what?
Like everything Mormon it's generally "volunteer" (voluntold) work.
Someone says hey I'll do the food prep.
In this case it was some of the relief society sisters of I remember correctly
It is generally provided either as a potluck or by the Relief Society. But it sounds like the dish wasn’t brought because the deceased wasn’t a fan of it so they were acting out of respect, but then the other attendees were complaining about it because that dish is expected.
