We don't do funerals in my family.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you don't go to other men's funerals, they won't go to yours.
I have asked to have no funeral, and no memorial service. I hate other people's and would certainly not appreciate my own.
Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.
I never go to funerals. To me a person is dead when he breathes for the last time. After that, your memories should be personal.
I wanted to be at my sister's funeral, but my family has always had a complicated dynamic.
I don't believe in funerals. I believe in celebrating life, and showing people, while they're alive, how much I care about them. And I don't believe in this business of burial. I'm an organ donor. Whether its my skin or my eyeballs, use whatever bits are intact and put the rest in the garbage.
The biggest problem is the funerals that don't exist. People call the funeral home, they pick up the body, they mail the ashes to you, no grief, no happiness, no remembrance, no nothing. That happens more often than it doesn't in the United States.
You know you're getting old when you go to more funerals than you do weddings.
I like a decent funeral, and God knows in my family we've seen enough of them. Looking through family photographs now is like watching an episode of 'Dad's Army.'
You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours.
