Top 10 reasons why I prefer attending funerals over weddings
Published by Everything2.com


Don't interpret this as me preferring death and endings over life and new beginnings. I'd rather hear news of a happy couple opening the door of their life together than see the lid close on a life already lived. But the ceremonies that I've attended have been . . . well, stressful. Surprisingly, coffin lids seem better oiled than chapel doors.

And now for the top 10:

10. It's easier to take off from work for a funeral than a wedding.

9. Cemeteries are nicer meeting places than the insides of churches or reception halls, even in winter. Funeral homes usually have couches too.

8. Nobody obliges you to dance, act wild or overindulge in food and alcohol.

7. There is no expectation of gifts, only a card and consolation.

6. Funerals are (generally) quieter, without blaring music. People are also more willing to listen so communication is possible.

5. They're shorter, so I can use the day for other things too.

4. There is no pressure to help make it "the best day" in someone's life.

3. It's easier to be invited to a funeral than a wedding, since nobody wants to leave you out. You'll be more likely to meet people you already know or make new acquaintances.

2. Nobody expects you to pretend that you're having a good time if the event becomes boring.

1. Nobody ever asks "so when do you think it will be your turn?"

Segi ko attend wedding diri same sad sa funeral.Lahi ra ang mag attend funeral sa U.S kay sa atua sa pinas.Diri ang funeral ug walay taas linya sa wake service dali ra ka kauli.Mas boring bitaw ang wedding usahay kay dugay kaayo mahuman tagbaw pa tag pangandam unsa ato isuot samtang ang funeral basta naka casual lang ka okey na.

Any sensitive, emotional based reason/s as to why funeral is better?

The best reason indeed...  ;D

in case by some accident of nature someone does carelessly ask when it will be my turn, i'd sweetly answer that from the looks of it, i'm only a far third after him. ;D
