How can one select funeral songs that truly celebrate the essence of a loved one’s life while providing comfort to attendees?

We all know that some people are very proper in public and are devoid of public emotional displays. So they will bottle up that emotion . Sorta like going to someone’s mom” s funeral and they seem to be comforting others more than the opposite way around , because they are so composed .

Now , for an aunt of mine there was music in the church , almost . I realy ,really used to like Whiskey Lullabye by Brad Paisley and a female country singer ,who im sorry i forget because i couldn't imagine anyone doing it any better than she does. But it was played about 30x in a row . Its a beautiful song but i think you could pop me in the face with a stack of hunded dollars bills but after about 25 times it gets old .

The funeral band can control whats being played so things dont get out of control . They would play a mixture of some of the deceased favorites , ( within reason) some hynals and some real tear jerkers that evegyone knows

Why has no country adopted the SA80/L85 rifle?

So ,as is a normal everyday occurence here, we turned up the music and told him the go inside we were “ having a fuckin’ funeral, go yo ass inside “. Things began spiralling faster. .one of the main participants in the fight , the son in law decides to be dj a little while and decides that“ iron man “by black sabbath is “ just a song “ .so somehow in my attemot to calm him down and get him away from the music equipment ,he and i and about 4 others were standing behind the building smoking a joint . Not out of sight , but not advertising . It could still be smelled by everyone and it was not really frowned upon . Apoarantly , I was not he only one there who took offence to heavy metal played at a funeral . His youngerst thought it appropriate to play master P which by the time we had a nice talk( and joint ) to calm the son in law down, morphed into a booty popping contest

Well , its not really the best idea to just keep that in . I know maybe they've probably been crying for the few previous days and one wonders if theyre beginning to move on already .

The daughter of the deceased got into an argument with a cousin ,they had just begun drinking . Following the melee, as things began to calm down , The neighbor , came outside and began to complain about traffic blocking his driveway and the noise .

Farewell, Mr. Eclipse: Fred Espenak dies at 71 - Astronomy Magazine

I'm glad you asked this ,but since no one else i know seems to think its a good idea , ill share it here .

Has anyine been over a parent’s death in a few days?Never ,if they loved them and a lot, lot longer if they lost them tragically before their time . Sometimes , it takes years before ust the thought of that parent doesn't cause them to tear up.

This is where it gets hairy . In our celebrations some times some of us become a lil too festive ,while others will bring up some things in the past that mght start a fight , some have things theyd like to say that they couldnt at the wake or burial , sort of an impromptu eulogy, ,some have stories and some just get too plain drink and wanna fight .

For an unpublished short story writer, what magazines or online publications offer the best chance of being recognized?

Of course they arent . This is the biggest part of life for most of your life and now theyre gone .

I think a funeral band is a good idea. Anyhow to your question . - the old rugged cross, amazing grace, He walks with me, bridge over troubled water, blue eyes crying in the rain and depending on age or preference -dancing in the sky , whiskey lullaby, hard to say good bye ( Boys ll men) tears in heaven ( eric clapton ). Just ti name a few . Im sorry the answer was so long ,i was tryna add a lil levity to a serious question at what might not be a good time for you in your life right now.

So at my dads cousin's funeral this was the case . My dads family are all heavy drinkers ,thusly so were his cousins and their kids . So at the dinner things began like any funeral dinner but the party afterwards had become a lil more loud than the usual bayou family funeral .

Have you ever followed through being bi-curious?

That way he doesn't have to go and tell the story 100 times and you arent stuck in a corner with uncle Fred saying “ yep, your dad was a good man , did i ever tell you about the time ….”

Now, i know it sounds goofy or dumb or just like a bad idea ,but hear me out .

The role of a funeral band wiuld be to quell the fighting . To properly address any noise complaunts , allow those who want to say sonething about the deceased a couple minutes with a time limit and a microphone do everyone can hear the story

Is anyone else losing complete respect for the US at this point?

A funeral band .

It would keep the funeral/ party celebritory , but respectful . It would let everyone just pull down the guards they put up and cry it out because tears are theraputic .

In our community ,like most around here , we mourn the passing by holding a wake for 1 or 2 nights before the burial . Also like most, we hold a big dinner for the deceased . Sometimes the question is not “ how did he die ? “ or “ did he suffer ? “ the quesrion and or response ( because its already known before the formal arrangements are made) is “where y’all gonna make the dinner ?“. Some have even rented halls outside of the church and funeral home .

How might an Indian girl respond to someone saying "I love you"?

. I wish i could tell you how things turned out but i had to draw the line . Beer , whiskey , weed , iron maiden , booty popping , i had eniugh . I had to work the next day.

I think its beautiful . People get to together to support the family and mourn the passing but also celebrate the life of the deceased .

Then things began to spiral out ofcontrol .

Why is Jack Smith arguing that presidents should not have full immunities as Trump is requesting?

I also attended a funeral that was more traditional to my family and this more than the other gave me the brilliant concept of a funeral band .
