ST Poll: Have you ever been to an outdoor funeral at the gravesite like they do in movies and TV?

Posted by Krusty (aka Krustylu) Jun 8 '21, 07:36

Like a whole ceremony with people giving eulogies, maybe a tent to cover people from the sun or weather, picture of the deceased, etc.

I've gone to the cemetery after a funeral mass but I've never seen it held outside by the gravesite.

Responses:

No. I hate funerals too. Like, all of it. Please don’t have one for me. -- nm - Qale Jun 8, 07:59 1
- My dad had zero ceremony. That was a mistake. For me, i want more of a wake, I guess. Maybe even an STravaganza type. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 08:03
A lot more yes answers than I expected. Very interesting. -- nm - Krusty Jun 8, 07:58
yes -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 07:57
Of course. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 07:51
Yes, for my stepfather. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 07:47 1
- (Actually, it was two locations - a viewing indoors and then more stuff at the gravesite) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 07:48
Yep, twice. Both times for a pagan-oriented service for the deceased. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jun 8, 07:46
Yes, for BadDaddy :( -- nm - Meg Jun 8, 07:44 4

    - I had hoped a couple of other Slackers would be there but I was our sole representative. -- nm - Meg Jun 8, 08:06
My wife (as a minister)has done a few of these....but usually the outdoor ones are very small and just a couple of close family or friends. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jun 8, 07:44
follow-up question: If yes, did you notice a man in a trench coat and sunglasses standing a way aways on a hill - prayformojo Jun 8, 07:40 1
- Maybe this guy? -- (pic) - zunk xometimes Jun 8, 07:46 [Attachment]
Yes but it's been a while. Probably one of my grandparents back around when I was in high school/early college -- nm - oblique Jun 8, 07:39 1
- Yeah, same with me. Most recent ones have been at a church or funeral home, followed by the ceremony at the gravesite. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 8, 07:42
Yes. For my grandmother - decline Jun 8, 07:39
no. -- nm - Andie Jun 8, 07:38
Yes -- nm - Dano Jun 8, 07:38
