This is false. Was at a good friends funeral recently. Took a picture with an old friend from highschool, my brother, and sister-in-law (sister to the deceased friend).

Fair point. Everyone got drunk and many selfies were taken after the funeral.

Alcohol wasn't served.... More of a "high school reunion" photo. We all went to high school and graduated together.

The funerals I have been to have always been family. I can see how friends would go out and toast an old friend, though.

I had an idiot of a cousin that live streamed our grandfather's funeral. Yeah

My dads funeral was live-streamed by the funeral service. It was good because family that couldn't travel could still be a part of it. I think that's pretty normal these days because of covid. Not sure 🤷🏼‍♀️

This was a kid on a cell phone on Facebook live. Not normal like a zoom.

Yeah ok that's strange. Why 😣

Wtf. Why? I could understand if others wanted to be there but couldn't

Yeah. Just a stupid decision, sitting grave side with his phone in the air streaming Facebook live everyone grieving. Not the service, like he was at a final four game or something.

Clearly you haven't been to Philippines. They even take selfies with the deceased.

I was looking in my photo album I found when I cleared my stuff from my childhood home, I have picture of a casket being lowered into the ground. Not sure if it was my great grandmother or my friends funeral though. My mom has pictures from the gathering after the my great grandmothers funeral. Maybe my family is just weird? I was either 8 or 12 when I took the picture of the casket. I will hide behind the "kids do weird things" defense.
