It wasn’t this extreme but it sure felt as if it was. This wasn’t even an Irish Funeral but a Jewish Shiva call which is services after the actual burial it occurs. In this case I didn’t know the particulars of the deceased, in which they could have had a long drawn out sickness which only caused suffering but either way they appeared more at a party then a death proceeding. I personally don’t want my loved ones to have to go intense therapy upon my passing to a higher place (G-D willing) but a few tears here and there would help me get there. I’m wondering after witnessing such a “event” whether I need to put in my will that onion chopping is required before congregating in the funeral hall. G-D willing I get additional time to witness tears of happiness by some deed that I’m involved in, just in case the onions aren’t available.
