Tends to happen more at interments though.
Not over it it won't - why - well because they normally pop you in the ground the very next day (something to do with the heat I guess, oh no not back to the maggot/blowfly thread again I hope) BUT prior to this ALL attendees met at the assigned family house and have to (as a sign of courtesy to the deceased and their family) view and say goodbye to the deceased by walking past the OPEN coffin which is placed in the living room (or kitchen or somewhere in the family house). It is only when ALL attendees are at the family home that the coffin is closed and then carried to the local cemetery. Then, and be warned for those who are thinking of attending a Med funeral, they take the deceased out and they are buried WITHOUT the coffin......
I lie not this happened at the first funeral we attended over here
and No one had warned us !
Do you want to hear what happens at Christenings ???
