Thoughts On Funeral Services

Also, my mom really needed someone to be there, she was sobbing the whole time.

That's the most important reason to go is to give your mom support.

Yeah, i think it's really narcissistic to think that a stranger can bring joy to mourners by their mere presence at a funeral

Maybe not one stranger, but I know that if there was a large crowd of people I didn't know at the funeral of a loved one, I'd be really happy that so many people cared about him or her.

I would only show up to a funeral if I knew my absense would get me yelled at by my mother. And even then I would be thinking about sports the whole time.

Heh.

You should check out the clips from Pat Tillman's funeral....or well some of the people in this thread should. His brother just flips out re: religion when he gives the eulogy, says his brother was an atheist and a bunch of other really shocking things to say at a funeral.

"I don't go to your church and say, 'This is bullshit,' so don't come to my brother's funeral service and tell me that he's with god."Well said.
