I know all about ghetto, but sometimes, I can't talk about how people react. I have been known to CUT UP at a funeral. Sometimes, you get so overwhelmed that you lose all sense of reality. You don't care if you look like a fool. You just know your pain and black everyone around you out. So, I cut some folks some slack, but then there is ALWAYS someone who is really doing it just to perform and get attention.
Funerals vary from state to state and across cultures. I don't know about any other place, but I know in New Orleans, your body won't even be cold and stiff before folks are gathering pictures from a t-shirt. I HATE them!! I can't stand to see those people, that I know are gone, staring back at me on a tee. I've seen them for everyone from babies to old folks, who could give a dayum if they got a memorial t-shirt in their "honor." I did get one for a friend who passed away about close to three years ago, but after one wear, I threw it away. I couldn't stand a memory like that.
