joining them is by invitation only or you have to born to a father who is a freemason

Nope. You can ask to join, but you need to meet some requirements, then you'll be voted in, or not in heh. I don't think you can be "born" into it.
Freemasonry is nothing like what it used to be. It's just a social club that tries to help communities and such. My grandfather was a Freemason, goofy sash thing and all.
When he passed away, I think he was buried with the sash, if he wasn't then I don't know where it went. But all the other things (cufflinks, tiepins and bible etc..) were all given to me.
