Well a lot of people will be crying, depressed etc... you will most likely see the body in the casket because it will be an "open casket funereal" and it is not a fun thing to attend.
I don't like funerals, and if I really do not know the person, I will not attend it, neither will my parents. It all means that we HAVE to see our family if we went to a funeral of a person we barely knew, and if you knew our family, you'd understand. Post edited at 10:40 am on Sep. 3, 2006 by Seidell

I've only ever been to one funeral and that was a few months ago. I can't really tell you what to expect because the funeral you're attending may be different but basically, the funeral I went to included hymns, maybe a speech or a story from the bible. If the person is being buried the hearse will go to the cemetry and you and the others will follow behind, then the coffin is put into the ground and one person, or maybe even 2 can put a rose or something onto the coffin.. But like I said, the funeral you're going to may be different.

Practically everyone will be crying and hugging eachother and everything.... Lots of music and preacher and prayer... Different people saying different things about the person... Stuff like that.

well, from the ones ive been too, theres a few readings, a few hyms, some music played, and some pamily members speak, and then after there is crying hugging and looking at flowers. im sorry to hear of your loss. the funerals are no where near as difficult as finding that someone has fpassed away, so you should be ok, just use this oppurtunity tosay your last goodbye. if you need anything PM me

Well it doesn't matter WHAT type of religion you are, or funeral it is, if you would like to maybe write a note to your grandfather or whomeever it was that died and if they were close to you, you can do it and place it inside the casket, or on top of it. Or whatever you would like to do....

expect the most horrific experience of your life...and im not saying that because of the person being dead and all, but everything else is just terrible. and if you really loved the person then it might be alot worse. i dont have a very strong love for my family so when 2 of them died i havent had a hard time seeing them or whatever, but everything just sucks. and the bodies look nasty, and you can tell how phony the employees are. funerals are a rip off!

Yes. It does. Go to an atheist funeral, then a Catholic funeral. They are very different thank you very much. After that go to an Amish one  Anyway~ The Viewing precedes the actual funeral. There will be people there paying their respects and sitting in quiet prayer or people outside the area. There will be pictures set up, usually and other things as not all are alike. At a Christian funeral, the casket will be up front, with everyone in their pews. There will be bible passages read, as well as people getting up and talking about the person. It is a time for reflection and prayer. Catholic Funerals are a bit different. I am not Catholic but I have been to a few of theirs because some distant relatives of mine are. They have their viewing before the funeral, it is hauled up to the front and then they put a cloth with a cross over it. They bless the body with the holy water and then words are said. After that, all the Catholics (only catholics) take communion. You cannot do this if you aren't catholic. Then people leave and the body is hoisted by some of the relatives into Limo type of thing that carries the body to the burial (This part happens in a lot of funerals not just catholic ones) Most funerals have a luncheon that follows it and then everyone goes home.

I didn't take you at face value, and I'm fine with what's underneath.

You should expect talking but lowly and not tooo much just kinda quiet. Flowers around the room from family and friends. Most people sitting on chairs. The dead person on a casket. Things like that. People wearing black and crying. expect to see tissues. It depends the tradition but it should be like or similar to this.

Funerals aren't as bad as they are made out to be. My Nan's funeral was held in my village church and about 20 people came, so it was nice. There wasn't too much crying. Yes, me and my family cried a lot, but it was because we miss her. Grieving is natural. I don't know if you have been to it yet, if you have well done. If not, just be grave for your Pops. :]
pm if you want to talk *hug*
