This morning I drove the Boss to attend yet another funeral. In the last couple of years we've attended way too many of those terrible events that are, in my opinion, archaic and completely unnecessary. The excuse for putting people through these ghastly events is to show respect for those left behind, comfort the grieving, and saying goodbye to the departed. Having been in every shoe except "the departed" I can tell you that all the reasons I've heard are nothing but BS. It doesn't help one little bit. In fact, funerals make the whole mess worse.
The only acceptable reason for having a funeral seems to be that others expect one, like a bunch of lemmings running off a cliff.
