Children at Funerals

Children at funerals, and I'm thinking children under 13 or so, are generally bored and don't know what is going on. However, they seem to be the vital link between life and death, reminding those attending the funeral that life goes on. Their antics can sometimes bring smiles where moments earlier...

Make Up . . .

I realize there is an art to making up the dead, but the women I have seen during viewing periods generally have to much and too thick make-up. Perhaps it is necessary; I'm certainly not an expert, but it seems eerie to me, particularly if the person did not use much make-up when they were alive. Sign in to see full entry.

Wondering about the staff

Wouldn't it be interesting to hear what the staff of a funeral home have to say about the deceased as they work on them?

It's been a while for me

But has anyone else been to any fun funerals lately? I realy enjoy some of the new shows dealing with such, such as Dead Like Me and Six feet Under. I may put that on my career desires, to become a grim reaper when my time comes to leave this world of the living. Sign in to see full entry.

Funerals - One Mortal's View

Funerals aren’t fun, but they can sure be funny. Before I get going, this piece is in no way meant as any disrespect for the dead, only as disrespect for the living, for those who visit the dead and attend funerals. There, got the disclaimer out of the way so I can get on with the piece. The last... Sign in to see full entry.
