I think nearly all the stuff we do for the dead is actually for the living - which includes the gravesite.

I played at a funeral yesterday. [UT plays with Poco. I play funerals.] It was a very nice ceremony celebrating the life that had ended. It caused me to be quite reflective. I think people should go to a funeral now and then to remind them of how little time we actually have.
