After that, I spent a few hours watching my grass grow and then later that evening, I painted my garage wall just to watch paint dry.

it was dead.

Here's how a beloved religious leader's funeral OUGHT to be ...

I couldn't even get all the way through the filing in of the family before I couldn't take it any longer.

Too bad “Six Feet Under” is off the air. They could have had a marvelous episode with the death and funeral of a prophet!

No. Don't care.

I know nothing.

I do remember my GA grandfather's funeral, in the tabernacle, before that bigger building was built. I was a young girl, born and raised in California. The hearse and our limousines were caravanning down State Street, and there were crowds of people lining the streets, the whole way. I said, "Look at all those people! What's going on today?" I had no idea this was all for Grandpa.

True story--during the closing prayer, a sudden, huge gust of wind swhooshed across the front of the chapel, blowing papers around, knocking over some of the flower arrangements, and slamming the two front doors, on either side of the pulpit. People thought it was Grandpa! I swear they really did!

I guess there weren't any miracles at Monson's funeral. How boring.

That is a great story.

At my grandmother's funeral many years ago, the powers to be, Dad and the other uncles thought it would be best that the grandsons be the pallbearers.

When you get 8 teenagers jocking for position, and we were getting grandma out of the hearse, there was tripping and stumbling, and of course the coffin was bounced up and down.

Things settle down, but there were evil eyes glaring at us as we enter the church, especially from mom.

Afterward mom caught up with us and started berating us on how we were so disrespectful and rude.

My brother, the oldest of the bunch, more mature and saw things from a different point of view, spoke up and said it wasn't our fault, it was grandma's fault.

"Grandma was inside the coffin laughing at all of us."

Was it all performed in passive voice? As in, "Feelings were soothed, and hearts gladdened. Seemingly from out of nowhere, a roasted turkey was produced, and bellies were filled!"

Thanks for the laugh.

Minds were numbed.

cludgie, you are funny!

I swear that green thing on the casket must have been a fig apron. Usually one just sees flowers. But I've never been to a Mo funeral.

And his family filing int that conference center? That took days. I got bored in a hurry.

A surprising number of family members wore clothes I would consider to be inappropriate for a funeral: colorful shirts, no jackets, no ties, even at least one hoodie. Did the folks wearing that stuff want to tell us something or am I overthinking this?

Do they lay out the Plan of Salvation at televised funerals?

Funeral potatoes are part of the "Plan of Salivation."

LOL

I've actually never had funeral potatoes but seeing them mentioned here several times lately I looked up a recipe today and will make them soon.

Strange, I got the green jello with veg-all, or sometimes just grated carrots growing up, but I didn't get the best of the bunch -- funeral potatoes.
