Funeral by funeral, theory advances.
Paul Samuelson
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 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
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
Funerals...are for the living.
John Green
Image
Funerals are all abstract ceremony.
Chuck Palahniuk

Funeral pomp is more for the vanity of the living than for the honor of the dead.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
Funerals often make us want sex-it's one in the eye for death.
Thomas Harris
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
Image
When I was a kid, I would fantasize about my own funeral.
Noah Baumbach
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

It would be so much better if the critics would come, not on first nights, but on last nights, when they could exercise their undoubted flair for funeral orations.
Orson Welles
Image
Nothing is truer in a sense than a funeral oration: It tells precisely what the dead man should have been.
Louis Gustave Vapereau
Image
Man should ever look to his last day, and no one should be called happy before his funeral. [Lat., Ultima semper Expectanda dies homini est, dicique beatus Ante obitum nemo et suprema funera debet.]
Ovid
Image
never write a line you'd be ashamed to read at your own funeral.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Image
The purpose of a funeral service is to comfort the living. It is important at a funeral to display excessive grief. This will show others how kind-hearted and loving you are and their improved opinion of you will be very comforting.
P. J. O'Rourke
Image
I got so many emails and text messages, my phone blew up because it couldn't handle everybody. It's like almost being at your own funeral because of the way the headline read.
Marcus Miller
Image
We should not expect the state to appear in the guise of an extravagant good fairy at every christening, a loquacious companion at every stage of life's journey, and the unknown mourner at every funeral.
Margaret Thatcher
Image
The Irish are often nervous about having the appropriate face for the occasion. They have to be happy at weddings, which is a strain, so they get depressed they have to be sad at funerals, which is easy, so they get happy.
Peggy Noonan
Image
My first company was MicroSolutions. I worked 20 hours a day. I didn't take a vacation for 7 years. I didn't even take the time to read a fiction book. It was all about work. When I sold it, I promised myself I would never wear a watch and only wear a suit to weddings, funerals and to meet the President.
Mark Cuban
Image
People are usually pretty hungry after a funeral. I guess it's because we all realize that time is running out and we better eat all we can. Please don't mention that to my mother.
Peter Hedges
Image
If you are with the quality, or at a funeral, or trying to go to sleep when you ain't sleepy - if you are anywheres where it won't do for you to scratch, why you will itch all over in upwards of a thousand places.
Mark Twain
Image
People feel guilty enough at funerals without having more guilt heaped on. I would prefer a bighearted preacher giving my eulogy, someone inclined to widen heaven's doors. I don't want to leave folks wondering whether I made it.
Philip Gulley
Image
He has been a doctor a year now and has had two patients - no, three, I think - yes, it was three I attended their funerals.
Mark Twain
