How come doug ross wasn't at drgreen funeral in the series er?

Reportedly George Clooney was asked to return to do a cameo for the Green's Funeral. He supposedly turned down the offer because he believed that his cameo would overshadow the actual funeral that he though deserved to hold its own since Anthony Edward's character deserved to be the one in the spotlight.

Now how much of that is actually true who knows, even if it is I still think it says a lot about Clooney's ego, that just a two second clip of him standing there would make people forget about the funeral and go "oh my god its George Clooney!". Oh well, it is what it is, I would have loved to see Ross at his best friends funeral since it would only make sense considering how close they were and all they had done for each other and helped each other through when Ross was at County General.

Can you have funerals in tenn on Saturday and Sunday?

Actually if there are any such restrictions, it is an ecclesiastical thing done to prevent ( Church traffic) from getting overloaded or confused. Many churches have pre-established Mass schedules- always a regular line-up on Sundays- and having either Weddings or Funerals on Sunday would impose traffic hazards. It is okay to have weddings on Saturdays in my Church- as this does not clash with the Mass schedule. More a matter of traffic control than anything rheological.
