Weird thing I noticed at a funeral.

I was attending a funeral few days back. After offering the customary flowers I stood silent in prayer for the the departed soul. But I couldn't help notice the continuous murmurs that was going around. Everyone was talking to someone. in hush tones. I had a feeling that it may be not about the depart man.

I looked around again. The only two people who were silent was I and the dead guy. Felt bad. I looked at him and almost said "Sorry man". I don't know if silence is mandatory at funerals. But it would be nice.

Anyway sharing some trivial things I saw.

I know for my family, and I know it sounds odd, funerals were almost a family reunion. For a while, it was as if one my uncles or aunts were passing almost every year. The cousins would catch up, and also get to see the other aunts and uncles we hadn't seen for a while.

@BrewCityBarfly It is nice actually when family come together. It's getting rarer these days.

@Renkon IKR Most of my cousins, nephews, etc have all moved on with their own lives. Many are out of state. We mostly keep up with each other on FB.
