    Fuck western funerals. Dying of old age in the west isn’t sad, it’s the ultimate conclusion to that person’s story and should be celebrated. Edit: I mean celebrate their life not their death.

    But, the funeral industry gotta sell you a shitty coffin, sell you a shitty service. Shitty people gotta show off how sad they are. Edit: being an edgy arsehole isn’t cool. Grieve how you want, not how someone else thinks you should, including me.

      Ah Jesus how high mighty do you have to be to be above grieving losing a loved one. Funerals are a celebration of someone’s life, it’s like one of the opening lines of every funeral I’ve been to.

      It doesn’t matter the age, if the person was important to you their absence can impact you emotionally.

      Get yourself checked.

        Check your reading comprehension and try again.

        That someone completed their full life is a cause for celebrating their life, not grieving their death.

        Lamenting someone’s early death is also appropriate.

        Having had a number of experience of both… I’m fine.

        How high and mighty doyou have to be?
