First, you go to the funeral, and are sad for an hour or two, and then you go have a joyous dinner party. This is based solely on the one funeral I've ever been at in March this year. >_> (note, I live in Sweden, my relatives live in Poland, and no I'm not going to tell you who died, it's not important for this topic) |

Then all funerals are strange. You'd think would want some sort of group therapy before going right onto a party. >_> I mean, it's basically like this: ;__; We're sooo sad. But, who cares, let's go have a party! :D |

Yeah, would you rather have people just sulk over your death instead of trying to enjoy themselves as well? |

People should pour Whiskey over MWD's grave. And then set fire to the whiskey. Then he has a burial and a cremation. What a badass. |

You may be shocked to hear that in some parts of Africa they skip the whole 'let's be miserable together' part entirely. In some cultures death is celebrated rather than mourned. |

to be honset, i would like a traditional Viking funeral. straw boat with my body laid out, strong Archers with flaming arrows at the ready. the tide going out to sea. alas, no county in New England would actually allow that so i'll have to settle for something along the lines of a traditional Irish funeral instead. i don't wish to be mourned. i would rather be celebrated. |

It is decreed that one shall pound the pillars.

Sounds like a better plan tbh. Mourning hardly achieves anything. |

Children's tears can bring back the dead. That's how I got my second cat! |

I read crying can actually be quite healthy. Of course, I don't expect people to go around crying all day, that certainly wouldn't achieve anything. >_> |

Africa is also the land without any sort of structure or rule. |

Man haven't you heard of a Wake? That's why some people go to the funeral to begin with. I want a kickass Wake, with booze and you're all invited |

It is the most topsy turvy place on earth. Not surprised they have crazy rituals/customs. |

Their rituals are not crazy. People from the developed world judge their rituals as crazy because they're so radically different from their own accepted norms. Also, whilst some African countries aren't very politically stable, that doesn't necessarily say much about the stability of African societies. The continent is mankind's cradle, and different cultures have thrived there for a very long time. Some societies even have rituals and beliefs pre-dating the Roman Empire; Africa is less chaotic than one may initially think. |
