Re: Funeral thoughts
Personally I hate funerals. Even if I do not know the deceased well it is so hard for me to see the people who loved them so darn sad. It just tears my heart out. We had a funeral here a couple of years ago for a boy who went the school where I work that was killed in a car accident and it was so sad to see all of his school friends crying and his mother literally wailing and crying. There were a lot of people there, so many in fact that they had to have it in the HS Gym and it was filled.
I am not one who would be able to do a reading at a funeral. I have buried my dad and mom both and did not read at either one. My sister and I played and sang the songs for my dad's funeral and I barely made it thought that for gosh sake.
About the only good thing I can come up with for funerals is that it brings together family you hardly ever get to see. Of course with some families I have seen where this is actually a very bad thing though as well.
