rob190364 2,594 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 There are some f'ckin wierd people out there! I have a morning chat show on in the background and they were just debating whether or not corpses should be on show during funerals, regardless of the reasons for and against....one woman said that when her mum died her body was in view so people could go up and see her for one last time and some people (who weren't even family!!) were taking pictures of the body with their mobile phones!! People are just f'cking wierd! If that was my relatives funeral and someone did that I don't care what scene it created they'd be leaving that church with my foot up their arse in front of everyone, and I wouldn't give a shit about age/sex/physical condition either! I've always said, think of any scenario, any stupid/sick/moronic thing you could possibly do and there will be someone, somewhere who has done it. Any other stories of just plain bizarre behaviour by people? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 29,908 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Open caskets are commonplace in some cultures,I went to one home in Manila years ago when the guy was on view,glass over the coffin to stop the flies,it was all souls eve a few nights back,entire families visit the cemetary,sleep around the grave or eat,drink,throw a small party for the deceased,North Cemetary in Manila approx 10,000 people live in the place,inhabiting the tombs and small shanty-shacks,some cultures are just more comfortable with death and the dead than some western societies.

Question why are they all from newcastle or scotland on that show????? two reasons why I don't watch that show and never will do, I can't stand chavs...they're not entertaining in any way shape or form....secondly, I can't stand jeremy kyle or the way that he thinks he can talk to people, he is a dick of the highest proportions! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 when your dead and in a coffin,it should be screwed down by the undertaker and never opened again.imo f*****g looking at dead bodies ,not my thing at all.i would like to remember folk that have passed away in a better memory than lying in a box. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 29,908 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 were taking pics of the body with their phones! Memories,I have family members who have taken pics of dead relatives,not because the deceased was dead,just as a last memory,we are all different mate,its the norm in some parts of the world,europeans just handle death a little differently,its more sterile here,not in your face or up close and personal,undertaker comes out,removes the corpse,cleans it up,does the dirty-wrok for the family,some parts of the world(and even here in some ethnicities)your relative dies you clean and bathe the corpse,wrap it in cloth yourself etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hear you on that i was working on a ward and they were obsessed with it!!! people morn in weird ways i couldnt stop laughing at my grans funeral coz i was banned from sitting next to her in church coz i made her laugh haha. Taking pictures though alittle for morbid for me, maybe its like when there used to take photos of the dead years ago to immortalise them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In this case though, I think the point was that it was just people that didn't really know the person that well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
