[Update March 25]
Since we first reported on the funeral services for Bunchy Johnson, we’ve received updated news that we have confirmed with the funeral home. His funeral will be at Trinity Episcopal Church (1329 Jackson Ave.), not Rhodes Funeral Home. There will be a viewing starting at 9:30 a.m. and the service will begin at 11. We regret the confusion.
