Funerals and the act of burial is a creepy, sick, ritualistic ceremony foisted upon a spiritually devoid species to take more money from them (and perhaps, many darker metaphysical elements are a motivation as well). I was going to end this post with "Change my Mind" but that wouldn't be honest. I'm convinced of it. Anyone else feel the same??

Funerals are designed to give loved ones closure so they can say a final goodbye.
I am pleased that you do not yet understand and saddened that one day you will.
Have buried several close relatives over the years. Nothing about the funeral ritual brings closure in my opinion.
Funerals are for parents and widows and widowers.
It's different when you were discussing a science school project or Halloween plans with your children or discussing renovating the kitchen or promising to massage your wife's aching shoulders that evening and 3 seconds later they are gone forever.
Did you find closure in other ways?
The whole circus of the funereal helps you? When my parents had to bury my brother they said it was one of the hardest parts to do. It's a long dragged out process. Hugely Energetic consumption. What closure would they possibly get from that besides the PTSD they now received? Do you think they gace a fuck about who attended?? They do not even remember the faces of the people there. The trauma of it all....causing a huge mental rift. But yea...I guess that can be "Closure" for some.
Right but you shouldn't have to go in debt for one.
Funerals are for the living. Not the dead.
I told my family to bury me in the ground and plant a tree on me.
Probably won't happen though...
That's what I asked for.
Our bodies are boring more than borrowed elements from the earth.
Avatars for universal conscience.
My husband and I will be cremated and we had our son cremated too as that was his wishes as per a discussion we had, had just months before he was murdered. We plan to have our other son put us in one box with 3 separate containers and stick us in the ground somewhere, doesn't matter where. Not real expensive that way.
Geez that's aweful. I'm sorry for your loss!
That's how I want it too. And an Irish wake with craft beer and good food. Actually they have what they call "green funerals" where they bury you in a biodegradable box and plant a tree over you, but they are probably as expensive as the traditional funeral home events.
Still preferable.
And you can easily DIY, especially if you if you have any land
Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
I think funerals are emotionally very difficult. In my family we have always cremated. It is far cheaper, private (Immediate family) if that is your choice. You can always do a memorial service later. You can also have a viewing at the crematory prior to cremation (for a nominal fee) for immediate family. The deceased body is present, but hopefully the soul is with God. If family and friends don’t see me when I am living, they need not be there when I am dead.
A la Rocky Horror? XD
i like it!
I guess Jesus' burial in the tomb was a creepy, sick, ritualistic ceremony then. Sheesh.
Yes, I've never really seen the point of a long, drawn out burial process. A day or two of viewing the deceased, followed by a ritualistic funeral service. Why? I don't believe it helps the grief process, but several people make quite a bit of money from it.
No funeral for me or my husband.
YES OMG YES!!! And I'm the black sheep in my family for my opinion! I hate funerals, and I've protested having to bring my kids to see them.
The weddings and funerals in my family were trauma filled. I tell myself "no more," but we'll see. I told my sibs not to have a memorial service for me. My husband has instructions to bury me with just a graveside service with scriptures read. He wants the same. Guess we better tell the kids.
Yeah, I'm not a big fan.
I will be cremated and lines will be cut for survivors to snort me.
nice. i hope you stay high
Funerals are like weddings to me. People buy a really expensive casket when a cheaper one. People spend too much money on a wedding ring. People attend who don't necessarily have to. The moe you spend the more you loved three person.
Have you ever seen a dead cat after a few days? Throw my carcass in the garbage for all I care... I'm not gonna use it no more and its gonna get real unappealing... I mean I'm not coming back like a zombie or nothing.
Cremation and then a memorial service to get together with family and friends and celebrate all the good times and memories. The open casket and then burial has never been a calming experience for me.
I carried the casket for my grandmother and still remember going down the ramp at the funeral home and hearing her body slide in it. I was 15. Weird.
It also represents the from the soil we came so to the soil we are returned. Bodies do have to be disposed of and that creates the industry.
These folks keep their dead parents proped up and cry to them for awhile

They don't have to be. It's all in the attitude.

Went to a Morman funeral once. People dressed in white like angels and celebrated the deseased’s life. That’s the only way I’d have one. I’ll probably just have a case a whiskey with my ashes and a few shot glasses available for anyone who wanted to celebrate my life.
It's all a Ritual....look at the dollar bill the still asleep chase....riddled with Sigils and Magick. I am an Occultist.....I am a christian-occultist infact. And I can tell you with complete certainty. Christianity does the same Magick I do. Your guys Religions piggy backed off Pagan holidays, and traditions. Christianity, Catholicism, Judaism....But here is the best part. Only the Priests are allowed to do the Magick in these faiths tho........And also make you a fuckin cannibal. Eat the bosy and blood? Adrenochrome? Nah sorry.......I refuse to partake in any further Christian rights. After the last funereal I went to. I can sense Energy, I can feel Energy. And when that Bread and wine Rite was going on, I could feel the Energy moving and sucking out of me, and those around. This isnt right. Churches harness Energy also. I am still trying to sus out what exactly they do with that Energy tho. I know for sure as fuck they do love keeping the masses blind to the Power we all possess. The power God has given to all of us. The Mysteries....Aren't just for pedoarist....I mean Priests...:D
And also make you a fuckin cannibal. Eat the bosy and blood?
Thinking that this is the real church of Jesus Christ would be your first mistake, bro.
This. Sorry….do your homework downvoters. Get a copy of the Secrets of Romanism. It’s an eye opener.
romanism is not true belief in Jesus Christ.
There was a lady on Twitter who used to say churches and stadiums are built on ley lines and that they could harness peoples' energy. She said the round shapes and circular ramps are all part of the energy trap, like a big battery. Since I got banned from Twitter for too much Truthin' I lost touch with her. Even though her allegations were Way out there, I enjoyed reading what she had to say. Others say that energy is called "loosh" and it can be packaged somehow and sold off planet as a drug of sorts. It's also created by wars and suffering. Entities 'eat' it.
It's also created from the Energy harvesting system that is life. Your social security number, and birth certificate allows them to Energetically feed off you. Thats why $$$ is Sigils. Thats why you sign contracts to work friends :D. It's all a Matrix.....and understanding they are feeding off literally EVERYONE well this is key. Key dates are habbening, and key Solar event. Why you think Ukraine was timed now? As Imentioned before in other posts, I practice Occultism/Paganism/Witchcraft as it would be called by the big 3 Religions. I can feel the Energy being used from Ukraine...all the peoples outcries...all the Celebs.....they are in on it....think Travis Scott concerty....think Adrenochrome....Think Matrix all in one.
Do you think adrenochrome is affected by everyone's accumulated fear energy, not just the victim's?
churches have always been creepy and weird to me and the people in them as well (the ones who work at the church, less so the ones who attend). I don't mind a quiet solemn atmosphere sometimes but it's ridiculous.
