| Funerals, since Kyle asked, suck. I've been to four. I'm 16. My grandfather in first or second grade, my grandmother and my aunt in seventh grade and my uncle this year. I don't remember much about my grandfather's funeral. At the viewing my mother told my cousins and me to stop being so loud because we were "loud enough to wake the dead". That's all I remember. At my grandmother's funeral, we went to the viewing then to the church. After going to a church service that included communion, we went to the cemetary. At the cemetary, a few words were said then we all went home I guess. I don't remember. At my aunt's funeral... That's the one I remember. At the viewing she looked different. She wasn't Aunt Patty. She was... someone who died. My cousin hid his pain very well or else he was handling it way better than anyone I know could. I'd be sobbing eternally if my mother died. After the viewing, we followed the hearse to the church for a service. Hannah and I did the little word things. I can't believe I can't remember what they're called. I feel stupid. Well we said these prayers for Tyler and everyone. I almost cried. My voice cracked and got really quiet. I kept them if you want to read em. After church we went to the cemetary then to Tyler's house. My uncle's was different. His death affected everyone at his school. On Friday, there was the viewing for the family in the morning but we couldn't make it. Later that night, there was a viewing at a Baptist church in Cincinnati. All these kids from the school were there. On Saturday, there was a sort of serivice at this pretty place called the arboreum. It was more of a memorial thing since everyone there was different religions. It's amazing how many people you affect without realizing it. Teachers were there, students, secretaries. We then all went to the cemetary. There were a few words said and the good old may he rest in peace until the day of judgement thing. My aunt Susan invited us all over to her house and the family and some friends went. Before we went, we went to where my aunt, grandmother, grandfather and my uncle (who died when I was a few months old) were all buried. All in all, funerals are sad. Wait, I've been to five funerals. My little sister's classmate died a few years ago and I went to that one too. I don't want to go to anymore until I'm old enough to handle them. I'm not now. I love you all. |

Aerii | 01-08-04 9:04pm Im sorry. I've never been to a real funeral. They put my grandfather in a coffee can...He was cremated... They were supposed to throw his ashes in the Bitterroot river but they didnt. |
pamela | 01-08-04 9:14pm i've only been to one in like 2nd grade. i remeber not much, but it was my grandpa's funeral and i don't remember being sad all i can remember feeling is the thoughts of him at christmas and stuff yelling at me..so his death didn't affect me much, but i've only been to one and i'll probably go to a few more in the future. |
