Death of a Salesman : Billy Mays' Funeral
MCKEES ROCKS, Pennsylvania—References to television pitchman Bill Mays' trademark image were everywhere at his funeral Friday near Pittsburgh.
Most mourners wore stickers showing a cartoon image of his distinctive bearded face. The six pallbearers eschewed suits and instead wore bright blue button-down shirts like the ones Mays wore on TV. At the conclusion of the ceremony, they gave a "thumbs up," just as Mays did at the end of one of his commercials.
