Stranger's 'Offensive' Remarks at Funeral Caught on Tape

QUINCY, MA — A funeral in Quincy took a bizarre turn when a stranger got up and made comments that the family found to be racially insensitive, according to a WBZ report.

Adrian Wong laid his mother, Carol Tan Wong, to rest on March 18. In his eulogy, Wong said his mom, who passed away from stage 4 lung cancer, was not a smoker and wasn’t exposed to secondhand smoke. She was someone who was simply unlucky, he said, only finding out she had cancer after going to the doctor for a cough.

Wong was supposed to be the only speaker but a man named David Small started to speak after Wong’s remarks. Small, speaking in front of a largely Asian crowd, speculated that Carol Tan Wong’s might have been caused by the smoke in Asian churches.

“The smoke in the Asian churches is so prevalent that I gag when I go inside,” Small said.

Small, a private investigator, told WBZ that he was invited to the funeral by his girlfriend, who he says is asian. He admits that the location wasn’t the best place for his comments but in his opinion, there is a high rate of smoking in the Asian community and there is a health risk when Asian churches burn incenses.

Small said he sends his apologizes to the family.
