Buy me flowers when I am alive, don't buy me flowers when I am dead.....?

What do you think about praising a dead one at his funeral??? Is there a need for a tribute still for his sake?

While it is to respect the recently deceased. It is more so for the mourners as a way of coping with the situation and saying their goodbyes they maybe didn't have the chance to say. While many people say they wouldn't care because they are dead remember your family and loved ones aren't and it means something to them.

Reply:good deeds always should be remembered; perhaps his/ her family members may not aware the situations you describe!
Reply:I think it's healthy and provides closure for the mourners. So, yes.
Reply:No. If your going to get a dead person something they could possibly be able to see while in heaven get them a big dead pig.
Reply:i guess you can't help it when you're grieving over a dead loved one.
Reply:I just can't forget you, so for my sake I need a tribute to you.
Reply:i think it is just a matter of respect for the person and their family.
Reply:it proides closure thats all
Reply:sometimes people feel helpless and need to do something to make them feel they are helping, buying flowers for a funeral can help, when i think about myself dying i think of the people i will leave behind not myself!!! so if it helps these people to buy me flowers and write a sympathy card to me then so be it!!!
Reply:Nah! Just send a six pack with him.
Reply:yes, i think it is OK. people are not animals so we still have to respect them no matter how they were when still alive
Reply:People are very shallow. When someone dies they'll send flowers and come to your funeral to talk about how wonderful you were but before you died they wouldn't even take the time to give you a phone call. I understand its respect for the dead but we need to start respecting the living too.
Reply:i like the "buy me flowers when i'm alive...." quote, hey i don't really care what someone does with me! cremate me, bury me, ignore me. I DON'T CARE! I'LL BE DEAD!



but seriously i think that if some1 is really religious and they want a tribute for when they die, you should give it to them.
Reply:Funerals are not for the dead, but for the family and friends to come together and remember the positive things.
Reply:you dont have to its just a nice thing to do but i do like the idea of the guy above with the beer. that would be sweet but youd be deemed trailer trash cause who does that?

still a good idea though if you can get past the streotype.
Reply:Of course, it is a beautiful thing that would have made the descent feel happy and alive
Reply:It's a modern celebration of someone's life. Personally, I wish people would think of saying something nice to your face when you can hear it, - it's too late when you're dead and gone!
Reply:what's the point in showing one's appreciation, love, or respect to someone who's dead? should have done it all when the poor fella is still alive.
Reply:its a waste of money, i mean, there dead, how will they even know
