football teammates like to voluntarily be the pallbearer for an ex-marine?” His name was Mr. Hunter. Justin immediately showed me the message without thought “I wonder who we should ask to help, because we want the most respectful people we know.” At school the next day, we had gone around and asked a few of the people we thought we should ask, this was nothing big, the funeral day would come, we would all go pay our respect and serve as the pallbearers, and then we could go

In her poem “I felt a Funeral, in my Brain (340),” Emily Dickinson describes the experience of listening to a funeral inside one’s head. During this experience, Dickinson mixes the physical, the intellectual, and the spiritual realities in order to portray the speaker’s descent into insanity. In the first stanza, the speaker announces that he or she feels a funeral inside his or her brain. Those who have come to mourn the dead are moving around “to and fro” (153). The mourners keep walking (“treading—treading”)
The aspects of an Amish funeral service are steeped in customs that vary largely from that of an English funeral. Though the ideals and customs of an English funeral service change with the new trends of the region. While the Amish funeral service has changed very little from the Amish deviation from the Quakers. In most branches of the Amish church, the rituals and traditions surrounding death are held in the highest regard. These sacred teachings are known to very few members of the church; generally
began to play, the 6 massive pallbearers, Corey’s closest friends, locked arms and began to sing along. Their voices were burdened by the pain that the song brought to their memories, quickly drawing tears to all of their eyes. One of the pallbearers collapsed onto the coffin, holding it tightly as if letting it go would allow Corey to be gone forever. The other pallbearers quickly embraced their fallen friend, not letting him suffer alone. The agony I saw on the pallbearers faces burned itself into
throughout. This contradicts the boy’s financial state; he is implied to be extremely poor, but the funeral does not give the feeling of his sense of wealth. There are very formal cars, flowers to signify the grief of the boy’s death, a preacher, and pallbearers who respectfully carry the boy to his grave.

About two years ago, my Grandmother died, two days later we were at the funeral home a couple minutes away from her house, it smelled like old people and salt, probably from the tears that were shed here. The curtains let in beams of light through the intricate design on the tops, it looked like the light beams were telling us that heaven was fetching her from her body, as my mom says. After that we hastily, but bitterly went through the process of all her daughters and her brother (my great uncle)
One of the. pallbearers was my brother who I think deserved it because he actually spent time with him unlike me and turned to be his godfather I believe. My heart sank slowly to the bottom of my chest because at that moment I realized I didn’t have much of an impact in
filled for the most part but the things I did were equal parts good and bad. Mainly it was just between doing nothing and celebrating New Years with one of my best friends. The only definite bad thing was when I had to attend a funeral and become a pallbearer unexpectidly, but more on that later. One of the main things I did over break was nothing. I would sleep in considerably late and then hardly get anything done. Instead I just laid like a lump on a log in my bed all day watching YouTube videos
