Questions not to Ask at Funerals!

I have visited more than my share of funerals and memorial services in the last few years. As a result, I have a list of questions that I have heard and what I do not think are appropriate for these special occasions together. Here is the list in no particular order:

. wanted 01 "I Can his bass boat?" I'll pay for it, of course, but I'm sure Steve would be that I have it at a very reasonable cost. Anyway, we were friends all these years. "This question, which widow of a fishing buddy of mine is not quite a heartless attempt to get a good buy on a boat. Finally left the recently launched a new depth sounder and sonar equipment were installed! Better still would be rather old Steve's memory Fishing on the side of us when we hit the beds crappie in the spring.

As any true fisherman know, women do not really appreciate the boat in which her late husband spent so many hours relaxing. She just sees it as something to him away from her so often. This is the time to make an agreement on the ship!

. 02 "He looks like life and peaceful." No Way! Dead folks I'm in coffins at funerals I've attended not look like life! Seen. I'm not trying to be insensitive, but the fact is that they are not in the box! It is only a shell, and when I lay there, with all kinds of people looking after me, I would really offended if they thought, was, like me, while I was alive, appeared to be!

. 03 "How do you hold on?" As the survivor is supposed to answer? "I feel wonderful?" I'm the miserable sob would never die! Life is great! " Most of us simply to answer as I was, "I get along. Tomorrow will be better!" This is one of the stupid questions that is asked of the survivors at almost every funeral and memorial service as a sign of mercy. As much as I hate to admit I am guilty of this, and probably it will ask again.

. 04 "Who gets to preserve the ashes?" As strange as this question sounds, it appeared to not long ago at a memorial service I accepted. The recently deceased had not left instructions for the disposal of his remains after cremation. Legally, of course, the ashes of the woman would be gone. In this case, they would not because they wanted to grieve alone to Hawaii. The thought of him sitting on the mantle piece back home, while she caught some rays, have further dampened the mourning process. She gave them his daughter, who asked the age old question "What should I do with them?"

. 05 "Will you soon again?" I actually heard this at a memorial service by a young man who had died suddenly in a car accident. The widow was understandably upset and fainted, as the thoughtless clod, which the question was asked around, as if to say: "Was it something I said?"

. 06 "How exactly did he die?" Juicy details are always asked for at funerals. Maybe it's just the ghoul in us that makes us so tactless in the midst of grief. There are always those that relate to a conversation about death and dying. There is one at every funeral.

The situation is comparable to the looky Loos see you on the side of the street near a car accident in the hope of a beheaded corpse, giving them a treat to see messages for all who listen stopping.

. 07 "Does he have life insurance?" This is a winner! Once again, the morbid curiosity of the people is in a difficult situation appears. Usually this is asked a widow. I wish I could hear a response like this: "Yes, he has pretty much even. He was not much good for anything, as long as he lived, but he was smart enough to keep enough to pay insurance, his insurance premiums. The money will be me live on the beach in luxury for the rest of my life! "That would be a great response, would not it?

When Sally Field once said: "Death is only a part of life Forrest." So the curiosity of man.
