I find the idea of going to funeral's extremely uncomfortable. I don't want to be looked at as disrespectful, or that i don't car by not goingbecause that is not at all the case, it's just i don't want my last memory of a person them being in a casket. Can anybody else relate?
 
going to funerals is like making your last visit to that persons house

its the only respectful thing to do
 
def a hard thing to do but if you dont go u will live with regret not paying your last respects
 
iv been to one had the best food there

I know exactly what you mean, especially if it is a family member. the thought of someone you knew in real life in a casket and so lifeless is extremelyuncomfortable.

I dread funerals.
 
yes ! I feel your pain, however I'm pretty sure that person would at least want you to be there before they are placed in a spot they will never leaveagain....

but you shouldn't be sad, mad or anything negative..

when a person passes away, it should be a celebration of life...I know some of you will disagree but you must understand that life on earth is nothing butmisery and suffering, so when they leave their suffering here on earth is gone
 
i get this sick feeling in my stomach... like its just a nightmare and you're gonna wake up any minute.
i really didnt wanan go but yea, got pay your last respects
ferreal tho--the harsh reality of losing a family member is tough. it didnt hit me till about two months after
my best friend/cuz passed away that she was gone.

I disagree with the bold part. Is your life full of misery and suffering everyday? I think people just say that to ease the pain of losing a love one. I dohowever agree with you about celebrating their life.
 
I can't stand funerals

Only been to a couple, and I didn't know the people very well. Still a really unsettling atmosphere. I'd force myself to go, though, if it were someoneI knew and loved. It's the least (and last) you can do, really.
 
i went to my first funeral back in january...a coworker i didnt know that well. when the service ended, we all lined up to leave the church. by the door washer family all standing there shaking each and everyone of our hands. it was SO uncomfortable. the last person i talked to was her son, and when he told me hewas the son, i lost it. i can't imagine having to bury my mom.
 
Thanx for the help ya'll. If anybody was wondering, no its not a family member. She was a friend of mine (not a real close friend, but still). Even thoughi wasn't really close to her, it's just the idea of seeing her not living truly does scare the @!++ outta me.
 
i hatttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttte goin to them very sad

that hit kinda hard..cant even imagine
rip to your mom bruh
 
I didn't go to my first funeral until I was 14 and then in a 4 month span I went to four...I opted out of one funeral because the person and I had ahorrible relationship and I felt uncomfortable with the idea of sittingin a church when I wasn't even in mourning (coldblooded, I already know.)...but theend all for me, was going to my neice's funeral. Born stillborn weighing 3 pounds, 2 ozs she was literally the smallest thing I've ever seen in life.Her casket was so small that my little brother was the only pallbearer...they re opened my Nan's grave to bury her ontop...after that, I wil never go toanother funeral again. My life stopped for the few hours my family stood in complete solidarity...I wouldn't wish that pain on my worst enemy... RIP S.C.M1/3/08

sorry to hear that man.... I lost my mom also in 9/11....i kinda know how you feel
 
The first funeral I went to is the last I ever want to go to. It sucks so much losing someone you've known your whole life. Just like that, now they'regone. No more memories to make, all I can do is recollect the former and keep them with me for the rest of my life, causing enough sadness.
Watching them suffer is already enough. Watching them die into peace is even more.. and watching them get buried.. it hits you that it's the last timeyou're ever seeing their physical form.

I burst out in uncontrollable laughter during my great uncle's funeral because the pastor giving the eulogy had a thick Korean accent. I felt so horribleabout it but honestly I couldn't help it. I was like 11 at the time.
