A Catholic funereal.

What the F...  

If it wasn't that it was for family and i was asked to carry the casket around , id have walked out.

It was a family member and you are acting like this? Man I despise the catholic "church" with a passion but I wouldn't be acting like this.

Regardless of my personal feelings about it, I sat there politely thru the thing, so not sure what you mean by "acting like this"

I am venting later, to a unrelated crowd.

Oh, and if it wasn't family and friends instead, id not have flipped them the bird or said anything about what was going on.   More like "its warm in here i need to step into hallway" or "where is the restroom" something non-confrontational. 

At least my funeral wont be like this. I wont be having one. Not even a 'viewing'. A small pitch in lunch at the park where we grew up and that is it. Oh and bring your pets.   ( if its not been paved over yet... as mentioned all the farm around is now up for sale.  grrr )

And no burial either.  Ashes, tossed into the river. 

We care, but we dont live near you.  ( i assume :) )

Well, I guess I will have no ceremony or anything because nobody cares if I live or die. 15 years after I die some burglar will break into my house and find my skeleton.

Our area farms are being paved over for housing and warehouses and strip malls faster than you can blink.  I know i have ranted about it a few times, but really, its real and not me just exaggerating.  Even out where i grew up, all the farms just went up for sale this spring. Several thousand acres, and the county ( there is no 'town' technically, what little structure we had was 'unincorporated' so the county gets to make the decisions ) rezoned it for housing.  And since they shove houses on under 1/4 acre, or less, around here it will be thousands of houses in a couple of years.  I expect sale this fall, destruction to start next spring.  I was sort of shocked actually, drove over to the park and saw the signs. I actually yelled at the first sign.

In the town i live in now, which isn't too far away, it was considered a 'rural town' ( not country, but not suburbs ). There is zero land left as of this year. its either already been paved, or in process. It happened so fast it was frightening, and disgusting. In at least 2 cases there were some pretty good sized 'mansion' type houses with lots of land just outside of town.  They bailed at the first sign. ( they can afford it ). Land was bought, house was torn down and they put in at least 100 on the lot.   Even some of our historical farm houses.. mowed over. ( actually, they were first burnt to the ground first as 'training exercises' .  insult on injury )

Our last farmers market, is now surrounded by apartments. It will close at end of this season and become a strip mall.

I guess the one exception is one area out west of 'town' wasn't actually housing. I drove past the other day, ( i try to avoid the area as it pisses me off so much ) and it was a solar "farm".  Good luck eating from that "farm" output. Idiots.  Really glad my time here is coming to an end.

You can always look around your area to try and find some fat guy who lives surrounded by horses. Even if it is not me, I am betting he would be a cool guy.

This was both. Full sized caskets put into a "sky box" outside.  I say that, as it was at the very top of the wall. ( 3 sections high, so without a ladder you cant visit 'it' if you want ) 

And being outside, it was dreadful. 105+ index, full sun.   I found a tree to hide under, but i wasn't able to make it the entire thing. So hot i was getting light headed. Felt like garbage the next day, had a headache for a week.  made it to where they took the temp cover off, shove the box in and put the cover back. They were going to put the stones back up too..   

Guys doing it, were not in good shape either.  Should have had some sort of tent over the area.  At the least for all the old people that show up for these things.

 but in a wall of very small boxes instead of full size graves containing unreduced bodies.
