Funerals........

i've been to many. my mother doesn't want me looking into the casket. i always look anyways. their faces are so peaceful. like a much needed rest after a tiring life.

all the grandchildren wernt allowed to see inside the coffin, too much bruises and such with hospital equipment.

I've been to a few I think.

The worst was one of my best friends' dad's. Her mother refused to let go after she saw the body, and she had to be led out of the church sobbing, and this was only when we were 10 or so.

Then was my great grandafather's funeral, I didn't know him well, so I was just an observer there also when I was about 11 or so.

And the third was another distint relation. Don't remember much of that one.

Both my parents are dead, I didn't want to see them dead in a coffin and I'm glad I didn't. If I'd seen them that way then I'd always have remembered them that way.

Argh! this thread was revived! okay, I admit it. I went to my mum's funeral, but I didn't wanna! 😠

I didn't get to see her, I was much too young so they wouldn't let me.
