Photos at funerals are often a bad idea - scratch that, ALWAYS a bad idea, and the jumble of emotions a person feels is going to be hard to read on a person's face.

Or he could have been saying "Get that fucking camera out of my face, my mom just died."
Yes. But my Grandma takes pictures of people in their caskets. I think it's a Southern "thing" to have photos of loved ones lying in state.
But I also think it's really morbid to have pics of dead relatives in family photo albums. |

Yes, she does. It's totally embarrassing. I have asked people about it, and the only logical explanation is that it is some Southern thing about death. She once popped up behind my Grandpa's dead mother's casket to snap some photos of her. Nobody even noticed or said anything, as this was in Louisiana. But my dad said that he was thoroughly embarrassed by it. |

Does she want to be photographed when she passes on? |

I hadn't either. Heard of it that is. Well it's a custom I guess. People have different ways of dealing with grief...I just drink beer....it works for me. |

I hate going to funerqals b/c I know in the not so distant future it will be me in the casket....I have a very bad fear of death......I am not really religious, so I think when it's over, it's over..and we will never exist again...it is very unsettling and I wake up with nightmares at times screaming 'No"!!! |

Probably. She's very concerned with how many people will attend her funeral. I swear, she counts the cars outside of the funeral home whenever someone who was popular in town dies.
One time, she was being all martyr-ish, and cried that "No one will even show up for my funeral when the good Lord takes me away!"

Try reading some Sylvia Browne books about the afterlife. |

People want to be loved....in life as well as in death. When I die, I don't know how everyone here and on the other boards will find out? |

No. She says you get to choose if you want to come back or not. Also, you get to choose what you'd like to come back to Earth and learn. |

Well this is my "bitch" with the idea of reincarnation. Nothing could be worse than being "yourself" forever. And I always fear the worst.

In Florida, b/c of salt water aquifer, you must by law by buried in a sealed and lined casket to avoid leakage. I am very disturbed by the thought.....I also now that whomever styles my hair, will make me look like a twat. |

Your soul will be in heaven, jb. Make sure to ask your wife and other loved ones to take a photo of you with your hair looking it's best to the mortician. I know a girl who does the hair and makeup on the dead bodies at a local funeral home. It's fine to have the family come in and do a few touch-ups. |

Not good. Make sure you put a hair clause in your will, I would suggest. Oh yeah and don't forget to tip the boatman! |

Yes, the wedding photo is good - use it!
The girl I know doesn't make fun of anyone. But I wouldn't put it past people to do that.
I've been working on surgery cases before where the surgeon makes fun of the patient's weight the entire time.
One time, there was some fat guy with an obvious venereal disease, and all the nurses made fun of his genitals. One of the nurses looked at his chart to see what his occupation was. He was a truck driver. So, they all giggled and said that he probably picked up a disease from a "lot lizard." I told them they were all disgusting, and the nurse that catheterized him, chased me around the room like she was going to rub her gloves on me. Ewww! |

It is. I think it's horrible to make jokes about unconscious patients. I have gone to Hospital Administrators in the past to complain about surgeons being physically rough with sedated patients and/or making rude comments about them. That is beyond unprofessional, and makes me sick and ashamed of my profession. I will not put up with it. |

I am a strong believer in Sylvia Browne myself. There definitely IS
an afterlife. Some folks get grounded and do not want to move on
or don't realize they are even dead. Like the lady said to frolic
around in the Universe sounds like a wonderful idea. I do NOT
want to come back as anything. NEVER. I have read where the
spirits are always trying to contact us. Sylvia says her bedroom
and house are always busy especially at night, she has a nightlight. And this Wednesday July 6th she will be on Montel
Williams again so I hope ya all watch it. Oh Sylvia originally comes
from the Midwest, Missouri I think(?) |
