People taking photographs at funerals

I am helping the obese diabetics get some exercise by walking an extra 10 feet.

But gay drama queens need exercise also ;-)

I get enough exercise fighting off randy sales clerks at the mall. They think I might fall for that "let me measure your inseam" when trying on shoes.

sometimes I do though, depending on how cute he is.

I personally, dont want to remember the person, in the casket, i want to remember htem when they are alive, laughing and crying.
But I remember when my uncle died, he shot himself in between his eyes, and he had so many visitors, that they were standing outside. He was very liked in our community, but I cant help but think that some of those sick shits came to see him just to see if you could see the place where he shot himself. I pray noone took pictures of him. Thats not how me, or any of my family want to remember him.
My mom told me when she dies, she doesnt want an open casket, she has a certain picture that she wants put up so people can remember her that way, and she has the right idea. I think thats what I want also

I totally understand and feel the same about when I die. I don't even want a traditional funeral. I want a party that is by invitation only. If I didn't get your respect in life, I sure the shit dont need it in death... read: no crocodile tears necessary. No one is allowed to cry but they all should tell jokes and stories of the dumb things I did that made them laugh and smile. As for my remains... dispose of them the cheapest way possible. Dump me in a potter's field for all I care. Once I am dead, I won't be needing that anymore anyways and I can't see spending the money on dead me. Spend it on my living children or just enjoy it yourself. That is how I want it.

On a side note: Did ya'll ever notice that people who treated the diceased THE WORST when that person was alive are always those that cry the loudest at the funeral?! Fucking hypocracy at its finest.

You shop for shoes at a mall...how ungay! Try the high end stores (out of the mall) the sales guys are less randy.

I think sometimes the funeral is less about the person who died, but more as a gathering and support system for the dead's loved ones, and people may come as support for the living, to show that they care and are there for them.

Yes, the pics are creepy. My grandparents do that. what do you do with a pic like that? Put it in a scrapbook? ugh.

it's an "old country" thing. idk, but it's something the older folks did sometimes in my family....

Exactly about *old country*...

Believe it or not, taking pictures was a serious occasion as MOST couldn't afford it. This was explained to me when I was a little girl. I asked why it is that ALL of the people in photographs displayed in peoples' homes were so serious? .... why weren't they smiling like in the pics in America.

So I suppose what more serious occasion than the funeral of a loved one?
