where to sit at funerals ?

[findtim]

been to a few lately, sadly, and in hindsight i've found it very interesting on 3 levels.

firstly, i'm starting to think now, S^^T i'm going to die as well
secondly, when it is a husband or wife, its interesting to see which side of the church people sit on, kinda supporting the dead or supporting the alive !
thirdly, what happens after the funeral, some you later get contact from "those close "friends" " and others you just never hear of ever again.

interesting, lessons from death that should be learnt in life.

Haha Tim, you are a strange man.

I choose my seat based on my relationship with the dead.

I've only ever been to one funeral, had to stand outside there were so many people there. A local town hero so to speak, gone too soon.

Victim of one punch gone wrong.

A strangely poignant topic as I received some tragic news last night. I won't have to make the decision posed by Tim, as I am not travelling 11,000 miles for this event.
I am sure that will pose further debate...

bummer

i'm really happy they have switched the term to " the cowards punch " , my son is 5 so i think/hope by the time he goes to a pub its gone, but that may be to much to ask.

stand outside

unfortunately i've had to be in the first row.
