Radpig,
I agree with philip.ed.
At 44 years old, I have been to many funerals, as you can imagine. Once I seemed to be the only one not crying at the time but went home and balled my eyes out in my room. Another time, I seemed to be the only one crying - go figure.
There have been quiet, solemn ceremonies and loud, mournful ones. I even attended one that was celebrating because the departed was believed to have gone to a better place, if you know what I mean. :wink:
In New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, they tend to mourn on the way to the cemetary and celebrate while leaving, even with a band playing.
See what I am saying?
