CINNAMINSON, N.J. (CBS) -- On Sunday, Philadelphia Eagles fans packed living rooms, bars and Lincoln Financial Field to watch the Birds battle the Buffalo Bills in the pouring rain.

But friends and family of Louis Pell, a Philly born-and-raised manufacturing engineer, watched the nail-biter of a game from an unlikely location: Givnish Funeral Home in Cinnaminson.

Pell passed away at the age of 89 on Nov. 16. His granddaughter Becca Brubaker explained to CBS Philadelphia his funeral service was originally set for Monday, Nov. 27, but had to be moved to Sunday so the family could make it to work at their Philadelphia small business, Dave's Meat Market.
