A local funeral home is doing what it can to keep people from drinking and driving on New Year’s Eve.

Between now and noon on Thursday, drivers can visit McGuire, Jennings and Miller Funeral Home on North Broad Street and sign a contract stating they plan to drink or use drugs and drive on New Year’s Eve. If they are then killed in a wreck while operating a vehicle on Thursday, the funeral home will bury them for free.

Services they pledge to provide include a casket, grave space, limousine and preparation of remains.

Funeral home officials said the program, called “Operation Stop and Think” is designed to save lives by making people think before they act.

For more information call Barry Miller at 706-291-0073 or 706-295-2412.

It's not the drunk driver I care about. I've been to many accidents involving a drunk driver and they are usually the ones up and walking. The people they hit are usually the ones leaving in an ambulance. They funeral home should bury the victims of the DUI accidents instead of those who made the horrible choice.

wonder if they will make the names of anyone who is stupid enough to take them up on this offer to the local authorities
