The Drive-Thru Wake

We use the concept of a "drive-thru" for many aspects of modern life - i.e. for food, for banking, for coffee - but the pandemic has opened up a new avenue for a funeral home in Ballston Lake. Reporter Rick Karlin spoke with the directors of the home about the technology they've set up to enable grieving families to receive friends and loved ones at a traditional wake. Also on this episode, entertainment reporter Amy Biancolli takes a look back at her nearly three-decade career at the Times Union, and courts and cops reporter Robert Gavin discusses the upcoming retirement of a Cohoes police officer following an incident in the North Country.
