[QUOTE="herofan, post: 1440983, member: 17843"] This thread along with the social thread has taught me how funeral customs differ across the country. I wasn't aware that so many people were into cremation. That's still fairly uncommon where I'm from. One poster said he hadn't been to a funeral lately where paulbearers actually did anything. It's just the opppsite here; I've never went to a funeral where paulbearers didn't carry the casket. It sounds like eating is a big part of the process other places. Here, some people do take food to the home of the family or the funeral home. The idea is that with a death in the family, it alleviates them having to prepare meals while in the grieving process, and a few close friends might come by after the funeral, but there is no party meal, and certainly no alcohol I was also surprised that someone hasn't been to a funeral or visitation in 30 years.
