Wow, I can't remember how old I was the first time I went to one. I was only a toddler that time. All I remember is that my dad was carrying me while we stood next to his mother's casket in the church. That's all I remember.

The first true one [Where I actually stayed the whole time] was when I was 15. It was a "friend's" cousin's funeral. But, the one where I actually was there/there and fully participated.. was last year: one of my best friend's aunt's. So sad to see these innocent people leave our world.. :holds back a tear:

Well I went to a memorial service for my grandma when I was 12. She had been cremated. Later that year I went to my Aunt's open casket funeral. Since then I've attended two more open casket funerals (an aunt and uncle.) I might go to another one soon. (RIP David)

My first one was last year in October. I was 16, and my greatgrandma passed away. It was hard for me to get over it, since I never really experienced something like this.

the first one i've been to was for my grandmother when i was like 3 or 4. few months later, my uncle died, so i went to his funeral in hong kong. so i left Pre-K for a month. then when i was 12, i went to hong kong for my other grandmother's funeral. so i left school for like 2 months or whatever. and when i was 13, i served in a funeral that was held in my school's church. and the last one was for my close friend's grandmother.

I think I went to my first one when I was nine, when my great-grandmother died. Since then... I've been to five I think. I usually only go to funerals if it's a close family member.

I don't think I've ever been to one... Just the "body viewing" when I was about 4 or 5. My mom didn't let me look at the body though. It was my great-grandma.

I went to my favorite uncle's last year. He was on his treadmill and had a heart attack. I was a little upset about it because I had to sit in the car and watch my brother instead of actually going to the funeral so I sat in the parking lot but at the end I actually was able to get out and go hug my aunt and stuff.
 I really hate the decisions my parents make.

I was 4 when I went to my first funeral. It was my aunt Ruthie's. I have been to countless number of funerals which is probably why I have such a big fear of death.

My first funeral (erm, the first one I went to, obviously I haven't had one yet that I know of) was when I was around 7. It was a Catholic funeral (a distant relative of my younger brother's had died) and I remember it being really creepy and intimidating for some reason. It was so long ago that I don't recall the details of that funeral, just the overall feeling I got from it.
The first funeral I remember vividly is my grandmother's. I was in the seventh grade at the time. Man, that was rough. Really rough. |

Probably three when my grandfather died.
In total I've probably been to about three. A lot of the times I tell my parents to just leave me at home. I hate funerals a lot. |

Thankfully, I've never attended a funeral. I'd have to be half-way around the world to be there for all the funerals I've missed but I'd like to experience first-hand how an Indian funeral takes place. You know, with the whole idea of cremating the body by burning it on a pyre and whatnot...must be pretty darn scary.

Honestly... my last two funerals have been two peopl emy age, and nothing fucks you up more, i can tell you... SO weird, knowing that someone who you ar enow older than passed away before they got to be who you ar enow, if that makes sense. Makes total sense. My former step-sister was the same age I was. She did when we were about get into high school, so 10 or 14. She was everything I hated. Yeah, that sounds terrible, but she was so pretty, thin/athletic, going to be a cheerleader, very popular and everyone loved her. Her family (my sister's dad (my mom was already divorced from him at that point), his new wife, and 4 kids, including my sister) went to Mexico for a vacation. They had a head on collision with a drunk driver. Amber (my sister's sister, my once step-sister) died instantly. Her funeral was the saddest thing ever. I've never seen so many people at a funeral. And watching her dad (my sister's dad, my former father in-law, who seemed like such a monster at times) broke my heart. Watching a grown man cry like that was such a profound sight. SO yeah, you're making sense, James. |
