Funerals and weddings were commonplace, and nothing could have been so interesting to them as the coming of the end of the world ... unless it had been a first-class circus.
Edward Eggleston
Image
Funerals often make us want sex-it's one in the eye for death.
Thomas Harris
Image
Funerals...are for the living.
John Green
Image
Funerals are important rituals. They don't just recognize that a life has ended they recognize that a life was lived.
Aaron Eckhart
Image
Funerals are all abstract ceremony.
Chuck Palahniuk
Image
Funeral by funeral, theory advances.
Paul Samuelson
Image
Funeral pomp is more for the vanity of the living than for the honor of the dead.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
Funeral: a pageant whereby we attest our respect for the dead by enriching the undertaker, and strengthen our grief by an expenditure that deepens our groans and doubles our tears.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
Funeral expenses are the curse of the poor everywhere on earth, they are wasteful and unnecessary, they are the price of foolish ostentation and a display that is less an evidence of grief than a vulgar travesty of those pompous obsequies where no grief is.
Joyce Cary

I remember in 'Pride and Prejudice' I had to do a scene where I broke down. And before we filmed I spent like three hours imagining my mum's funeral. Actually, she's very much alive, happy and healthy. It was really horrible.
Carey Mulligan
Image
You broke me bodily. The heart ain't the half of it, And I'll never learn to laugh at it In my good natured way. In fact, I'm laughing less in general, But I learned a lot at my own funeral. And I knew you'd be the death of me, So I guess that's the price I pay.
Ani DiFranco

At my funeral, if one said, 'Nick was a generous person,' trust me I won't be doing cartwheels in my coffin. Recognition from people is never and never will be a goal. Some people strive for that respect or honor. Living a life to just reach for the position and status is vanity and sin.
Nick Vujicic

I've just had some bad news. Tomorrow is the mother in law's funeral. And she's cancelled it.
Les Dawson

If 180 million people want to be undead, that’s their funeral, but I happen to like being alive.
e. e. cummings
Image
The only kind office performed for us by our friends of which we never complain is our funeral and the only thing which we most want, happens to be the only thing we never purchase--our coffin.
Charles Caleb Colton
Image
I used to sing at funeral homes for families that didn't have a vocalist. I didn't get paid. I needed to sing.
Anita Baker

Whenever my patient begins to count the carriages in her funeral procession I subtract 50 per cent from the curative power of medicines.
O. Henry
Image
It's my policy not to review funerals.
A.M. Homes
Image
I can't think of a more wonderful thanksgiving for the life I've had than that everyone should be jolly at my funeral.
Lord Mountbatten
Image
Out- out are the lights- out all! And, over each quivering form, The curtain, a funeral pall, Comes down with the rush of a storm, While the angels, all pallid and wan, Uprising, unveiling, affirm That the play is the tragedy, Man, And its hero the Conqueror Worm.
Edgar Allan Poe
Image
You don't want to be like the motion picture exec who had so many people at his funeral, but they were there just make sure he was dead. Or how about the guy who, at his funeral, the priest said, Won't anyone stand up and say anything nice for the deceased? and finally someone said, Well, his brother was worse.
Charlie Munger
Image
To expiate the pain of losing her firstborn son in the Iraq war, Cindy Sheehan decided to cheer herself up by engaging in Stalinist agitprop outside President Bush's Crawford ranch, ... It's the strangest method of grieving I've seen since Paul Wellstone's funeral. Someone needs to teach these liberals how to mourn.
Ann Coulter
Image
I am at a crossroads I have always been against armed opposition... I have chosen civil disobedience. But I will apologize to my people if there are funerals coming out of prisons. I will criticize myself and I won't be the mayor of Diyarbakir.
Osman Baydemir

My VIP patients often regret so many things on their deathbeds. They regret the bitterness they'll leave in people's hearts. They realize the no money, no church service, no eulogy, no funeral procession no matter how elaborate, can remove the legacy of a mean spirit.
