[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m Catholic and this is normal to me and definitely considered compulsory in my family and among the people with whom I grew up. It was also expected that children go to viewings and funerals no matter what age they are. I know the rules are different for others but I was very startled to go to my first funeral for the family that I married into. In their family you gather at the crematorium and watch the cremation! That was startling to me then but now I’m used to it. The tradition I don’t understand is happy family photos at funerals. It’s very common among my evangelical and LDS acquaintances but my family would be shocked if someone tried it. My DH and I have plots in an old, crowded cemetery that will require cremation. I don’t want to be embalmed so I guess we will break tradition and not be having a viewing for me.[/quote] Often it is the only time so many of the family will be together in one place. [/quote]
