Death and a Funeral

I was thinking after the wake yesterday, people are so afraid of death and what they should be afraid of is being the ones left behind. It seems like when someone dies, they have peace, but it's terribly difficult on the people left behind.

I hate it when people ask me how I am in everyday life but when they ask at a funeral what are you supposed to say? I mean saying "I'm good" seems to be, I don't know, wrong somehow. It also seems wrong when people come up and whisper in the family members ears and make them cry. It pisses me off actually, when someone walks up to my mother and whispers something and she cries. That might just me being overprotective.

Just for the record, I don't want a traditional funeral. I want to be cremated and I want people to dance. I don't want people to worry about what's proper or what they're 'supposed' to do. Go crazy.
