I found the scene where the town was preaching for the dead mule. Joe got this donkeys funeral all hyped up and energized. People were talking about the mule riding people, and the devil using Matt Bonner to plow. They made the mule seem like it was the most important person in town on that day, and gave it a grand ceremony. Janie was left behind by Joe to tend the shop, even though everyone was already at the funeral, which seemed a little sad, but Joe wasn't exactly treating her well to begin with. At the funeral, they preached about the mule, and sang, and did everything that you would do for a human funeral. They even had an obituary.
