FUNERAL
Funeral Assignment
I would want my funeral to not be something that everyone comes to and cries at. I want them to remember all the good things I did in life. The songs I would like to be played would have to be “I’m going off to yonder”, “crossroads”, “it’s all God”, and any other song that people know I love. And I would want the songs sung by the people they were wrote by and if those people are not alive then someone from my family could do it. I would want Pastor Marvin Sapp or Pastor Marvin Wayans or my pastor from my church. Some of my family members could even say something just to lift everyones spirits up. My casket would be all white with red trim. My flowers would be any type of flowers that would look real nice. I would like for my body to be dressed very nice and sharp. I would like to be in almost a tux like suit. Black pants, black shirt with good buttons, red tie with an all white jacket with black trim. I think that would look real nice knowing that my casket had red trim on it too. As for do I think these selections will change as I get older, yes but no for some of the choices. For some of the songs I would keep them but I will probably like different songs when I get older. I would want my kids or grandkids to do more at my funeral too. Even though I know it might be hard for them I still want them to do it, I just want an uplifting service.

    March 17, 1926. William Friend Day, Pastor of Saint James Episcopal Church in Bozeman, Montana, had been thinking for nearly a week about the eulogy he would deliver that afternoon. In his short time at St. James, Day had already presided over five funerals, each time offering comfort to the deceased’s family and, by extension, the community itself. He always emphasized the person’s strengths and Christian attributes, avoiding any lifetime failings that were, almost always, unbeknownst to anyone outside the immediate family. But this service would be for a man whose achievements and notoriety were both in the public domain. Nelson Story was the most dominating figure in the town’s sixty-two year history, and Day knew any effort to avoid his…

    When a teenager at the early age of 15-years-old eagerly wants to drive, they are more at risk of losing their lives than a 17-year-old. Adding alcohol to the mix and the numbers of deaths increases rapidly.

    Losing a loved one is like having a rug swept from under you. We make plans for the day, and do not think twice about how those plans can be taken away in the blink of an eye. I never thought much about it myself, until I was faced with the shocking, and undeniable truth of my mother’s death. The title of the article I selected was the Effects of a Parent’s Death on Adult Children: Relationship Salience and Reaction of Loss. The author is Debra Umberson, it was published Feb. 1994 by the American Sociological Association. The significance of this article is to evaluate the impact of a parent’s death on adult children’s physical and psychological functioning.

    A eulogy that I would fear to be read at my funeral would be as follows. “Number 17 was my daughter. At least she biologically was. She thought she was kind to me, she thought I didn’t see through her insincere comments. She always asked me questions about her mom and I’s life, or commented on the freshly mowed yard, but it was only because she wanted me to hurry up and finish talking so that I could ask a question about hers.…

    Emily Dickinson’s poem “I felt a funeral in My Brain” is about a funeral service taking place in the speakers imagination. Throughout the poem the reader is left to think that the funeral is the speakers own funeral. The tone of the poem comes across as depressing and lonely. The ending of the poem is left as an open thought for the readers. “And Finished knowing –then-.” (20). Most of Dickinson’s endings in poems are frequently left open ended (Poetry Foundation). Dickinson wrote a poem dated to 1875, “Escape is such a thankful World.” In, fact her references to “escape” occur primarily in reference to the soul (Poetry Foundation). This poem relates to “I felt a Funeral in my Brain” because of the sense of escaping from something referenced to the soul. Dickinson relies on contrasting imagery, symbolism, and sound to convey the lonely feelings of sadness also know as depression. Depression is defined as a mood disorder causing a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest.…
