A friend told me she attended an all-day funeral the other
day. I think I have been to funerals
that lasted several hours, but that included visitation before and a long trip
to a burial place miles and miles away.
This funeral was planned to cover the deceased funny moments. I guess laughter made the time go quicker. I don't suppose it matters that you are laughing at the decease's expense and he/she is not laughing with you.
An all day funeral?
That is a lot to ask for people to sit all day in a pew. What about going to the bathroom ever couple
of hours? What about food? Some people, like diabetics might need some
kind of nourishment every few hours.
Will there be a lunch break? I
know a person that insists on taking a nap every afternoon. I suppose that person could sit in a pew and sleep,
just nodding a little, it won’t be the first time someone sat in a pew and
slept.
What may be the most difficult for everyone at the all day
funeral to do is keep their hands and eyes off their smart phones.
